So this is where everyone went?

Post by Varangian » Wed Feb 24, 2010 10:35 pm

Another displaced RDFer reporting in... When I wrote my introductory post on RDF about 1½ years ago, I wrote something along the lines of "I don't think I will be very active". I racked up some 1500 posts (some of them even having substance), so I think I'll avoid making similar statements here. For those who don't know me, I'm one of those atheist Swedes (yes, I have some IKEA furniture, no, I don't own a Volvo, and I'm fairly rational). An optometrist by profession, I'm reminded every day what a perfect, God-given design the human eye is... I've been living in sin with my fiancée for 20 years now; we have a son who will turn seven years old soon, and a baby set to arrive in early July. If I'm allowed to have the occasional beer or tot of whisky, some military history to enjoy, and god-botherers to rail against, I'm content...

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.
