I am not esquilax, but hi there!

[Tea-Squirrel]

actually I am Spartacus
So even though flaming here is not allowed I think I just may have provoked it the very second I venture outside of beginners. What an entrance :) Here's why.
Honest to <deity or cheese of your choice> I did not know of esquilax being the forum's "only tea drinking squirrel" when thinking up the name. I am an avid tea drinker and am amused/made paranoid by squirrels. The former inducing jittery skittish behavior characteristic of the latter, which just causes my imagination to plot world domination by legions of squirrels. I know how forums can be... territorial, so I thought explanation was due.

Hi! It's obscene:AM, I've had too much caffeine and sugar and have spent way to long in photostudio making a banner. There are so many avatars to choose from... another time, they can wait.
I am an electronic engineering student into computery things and music playing. I drink a lot of tea and have been compared to squirrels (as have a significant amount of fellow students, also twitchy and or tree-climby), hence Tea-Squirrel. As mentioned before, no intrusion meant but I would like to keep that name. If esquilax or Team Vortex disagree I'll change it. Who knows, maybe gradually the number of tea drinking squirrels on this forum will increase until 'we are legion'. Yes I have seen /b, no I am not going to dive into the cheesebin/sloth without significant lurkage.
I have read the FAQs, all pages of all of them, *duff-man* "Oh yeah" *end duff-man*, and have found my sig picture to be within size and dimension allowances : w00t I say. I've done some lurking, more to come. I think the next visit will be to adoption.

This must be the fifth time I've tried to post this. My internet keeps cutting out, raaarg. Also trouble figuring out how to do strikethrough html in a post.

You seem like a very decent member. I haven't checked but if esquilax hasn't been banned I see no reason why people will think there has been some miss deeds done by esquilax since he's a decent member he has no need to create a second account. Maybe he does but I've just got back from a week of not having the internet (well a few hours less than a week but who cares :p) so I haven't checked bannage recently.

Anyways welcome and enjoy it, its a good laugh. :)

[Niamhel]

Well theres a co-ink-idink


You are quite smart to have done all those things without being told to do so :)
but esquilax might try and poison you with some cookies, just giving you the heads up :)

[Rabengakev]

o hai!

Welcome to the forums shug, don't worry about flaming. As long as you don't act like a tit, which judging from this post you aren't, you'll be fine.

[rachel ^_^]

welcomes! seems like you know what you're doing, enjoy your stay!

[Kakarrrrr]

Welcome, there have been a lot of smarter members joining recently :p Avoid cheesebinsloth, read faqs and avoid flame wars. Listen to advice you get here also. I have a feeling you an esqui will get on well. Enjoy your stay!

[Tea-Squirrel]

Thanks guys :D, nice to feel welcome. Ah yes the cookies... I have seen them offered before and shall be vigilant. But.. but I like cookies! awwww

[esquilax]

Well now, it seems my position is in danger. Eh well, we shall have fun.

*squirrelly hugs*

Mmm...floofy.

[Boyinabox]

I don't trust this new squirrel.
He'll probably claw our eyes out next time we walk by him funnily.

[esquilax]

He looks like a grey. Well, from his signature anyway

[Zhyl]

I think it's funny that the grey squirrels in turn are being eaten by black squirrels. It's kind of like justice, but so much crueller.

I approve of this member. Time for cake, I think.

[Sypho]

/me agrees with all of above

[malcolio]

That's one impressive first post, I don't think there's anything left for anyone to add. Though this puts a lot of pressure on your second post being just as groovy. Good luck! :D

[Turkey Sandwich]

Hello to you. This could go one of two ways - either you and esquilax will join forces, which will be scary, as the tea-based squirrelists would seem to be forming an army; or, you and esquilax will have to duke it out for position as the top caffeine rodent, which will be even more scary, as your epic conflict will probably bring about a squirrely apocalypse.

Either way, welcome. ;)

"Mummy, why are those squirrels chasing each other?"
"Oh, um, er, they're fighting. To see which one is the top one"
"I think that one's on top"
"HEY! Something really colourful and distracting over there!"

[Quintumply]

That was a very impressive first post, it must be said. All I can add is welcome, and that you're going to do just fine here. Hell, you've already collected a heap of reputation and only posted ONCE. Bravo, sir, bravo.

Had to laugh at that.

[gembird]

Wait. I think I know this guy.

If my suspicions are correct, this is my housemate. And he really is obsessed with tea and squirrels.

That would explain why he's done everything 'properly' without being told, as I told said housemate-who-wanted-forum-ness to have a bit of a lurk first.

Either that or the tea-drinking squirrels really are legion:eek:

[esquilax]

If this isn't your housemate, he sounds really cool.

[Baltar]

I like snakes and coffee!

Coffee-Snake (Would that be a good username?)

[Roachy]

Fuck me. You've made one post and I already like you. Welcome to the Weebls-Stuff forums. I really don't think you'll have much of a problem here, to be honest.

The lurkage is a good thing but seriously, every beginners thread gets at least one forumite dramatising the cheesebin and telling people to keep out of it. The only difference between the rest of the forum and the cheesebin is that people love being twats in the cheesebin because they feel they can.

You will get picked at by the arsehole crows in there for the slightest thing but take it on the chin and you'll be right as rain.

EDIT: Oh shizzle, I forgot to mention - If you fancy getting 'adopted' which basically means one of the forumites will help you out by being your adoptee (Guide you on the right path, answer your questions etc.) then you can got the adoption thread in this, the lovely Beginners section or alternatively ask one of us lot and I'm sure you'll find someone nice enough to help you out. That's your choice entirely. :)

[esquilax]

I think there's only one candidate for his forum father ;)

[gembird]

Hey Esqui, seeing as you're also a squirrel and I know the dude already, do you fancy being a pair of forum parents? If Mr T. Squirrel agrees of course.

[Boyinabox]

Surely seeing as Tea Squirrel has only made one post and is already up to a reputation level of "Glorious beacon of light" his introductory post must be the most +'ed ever on the forums!
Also, I think we may have scarred him off with our overtly positive welcoming. :p

[esquilax]

Sounds like a fun idea.

[Baltar]

I'm not Esquilax! I should also be popular, but alas, apparently I'm a sexist banned pig. :(

[Tea-Squirrel]

Oh my - I don't know how I missed that; I can be called Mr T for short. Epic win for creation of namesake or fail for not noticing? Well I have to say thankyou very much for all your kind words and +s and messages. Regarding adoption I very much like the idea of an appropriate forum father being esquilax (squirrel rapport), and gembird forum mother because I know her in the world outside. This is a bonus to all of you, if I make a stupid post she is able to and probably will actually slap me. Good 'ol traditional parenting style. So just to make this formal, some kind of gesture of adoption initiation is needed i feel: *Looks lost and tugs at sleeves of gembird and esquilax*

[esquilax]

Squirrels don't wear sleeves!
