Yeah... I think you got us all... ; ;
I'm joking!
The beginning of my posting doesn't go back nearly as far as my lurking, but since we're talking about or "first times" and all...
I first posted here one night after going out to a bar with a female friend (which is odd, since bars are something I don't really do, either).
I'm pretty sure Vyre was the first person to end up saying anything to me. And I responded to Spath saying something about thinking he was "friend zoned" by a girl, and him getting a bit irritated by it. I felt bad.
Getting noticed in here seemed like it was a bit hard to do at first, but then you realize over a year later, it still happens, because that's just how this thread operates from time to time. Sometimes you post at the wrong time, during an already-going conversation, and you just suck it up and join in from there.
My first real conversation was with Mag, kind of late at night. We talked about MST3k. And I believe Schutz joined in.
I also recall being on the wrong side of a "pop" vs. "soda" debate with Uri and Jet (possibly Flavin, too). But I let it go (whoever can't get over something as minor as "pop vs. soda" has issues) and found out that they're perfectly alright guys, too.
There are more, but those are the early ones that stand out in my mind.
