Trey, click on <./>UserDetails</.> (a.k.a. the "Preferences" button); that lets you change your Nickname from the default to something a little more "memorable"... A cool side effect is that the name on all the posts you have made so far will change to reflect this. Us HooToo veterans use that "feature" to advertise clubs and meet-ups etc... smiley - ok


ok try again.

The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy... It was a radio series, a book, a TV series, more books, a stage show, various records and a towel. You may have heard of it... smiley - bigeyes

Have a read of <./>Welcome-DNA</.> and A550955 for a more authoratative answer... smiley - smiley

Hi Rod & all,

After my initial banishment at the hands of the Mod Squad, I got around 10 posts in as PorkProvider™ (all very straight and helful...more or less), before being zapped again. My last email account is clinging to VenisonVindicator™, but I really do have a troublesome time leaving the fun out of my posts.

I've seen some references to Belgian Beer and I hail from one of the best beer cities in the States; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We have a great Belgian Beer bar called "Monks" that Michael Jackson (the fat white one) is known to frequent when in town. Last month, I had my 3rd annual All Guys No Pies Philadelphia Beer Crawl with around 20 of my buddies and we hit the best bars first. Beer is good!

I'll have to look around this site some more. It's very nicely done! - j

I went to a keg party last weekend. It was only Bud, but Bud's OK. As long as it isn't Miller, arrghhh!

Hi, HH... Is that the fat, white one who *didn't* used to be black? smiley - winkeye

I kinda figured that H2G2 had something to do with the hitchhikers guide, but why the 2 after the G? It's been well over ten years since I've read the books (come to think of it, it's been about ten years since I loaned them to a friend...) and maybe I'm forgetting something.

Yes, Belgian beer is good. I just had a couple of rocheforts last week.


Ok..
