Hi all,
I'm actually not a new member here; I first logged in before this place was even called "Happy Atheist Forum", but then I kind of didn't log in for a few months and when I returned my account had mysteriously vanished.
So for those who know me, it's nice to be back; we had some interesting debates and I look forward to further engaging with the community. For those who don't know me, hello, nice to meet you, and I hope you're as enthusiastic as I am about the forum.

That's tragic, you'd be a four star member, I can get five bars of gold-pressed latinum for one of those stars.

For our non-UK members who may think that Tank is here being outrageously vulgar, I would like to point out that in the UK, this term can be defined, "As a derogatory insult, a pejorative meaning a fool, synonymous with the word twit - 'You are a real twat and a half' (often used in the UK)." (From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twat).) In the US, that particular UK usage is practically unknown, and I've seen this result in some rather silly disputes on multi-national forums.

I assumed it was a UK thing...twat in the US refers to something entirely different
twat = slang for vagina

If I wore my thong to the supermarket, clearly visible to all, it wouldn't cause a fuss.

You get interesting results when you google thong.

Yes they aren't a very effective form of footwear, I haven't really worn any for many years.
Sharp objects go straight through them, the rubber strap becomes unplugged, it is difficult to run and they ruin your feet.
I suppose they do have a use as protection from fungal diseases in public showers.
The heavy duty extra wide types are OK when the sand gets hot.
What other pressing problem for humanity should I address next?
