[Prion]

Hello everyone. I'm Prion. I've always had a long time interest and fascination in land of Kiwis, Keas, Moas and the Maori since childhood at the least. I've never been to the islands, but always wanted to go and hope to someday visit that fine nation of yours. I am a yank (yes, hated currently through much the planet) but I'd like to think I'm not as obnoxious as our stereotype is seen to be.
Sorry for the late "welcome" thread to you all, I signed up but always had one issue or another in using the board (not y'all's fault, PC is an old loaner and slow; I'm also on dial-up. ) So anyhow-- Hi.
*Edit*
I wasn't sure the exact rule on double-posts (I'll reread the rules after this edit) but I just saw something I wanted to share and wondered if it was an omen :
"Welcome back Prion, there have been 666 posts and 180 threads since your last visit 13-Mar-2006 at 08:24 PM"

Hey well it is nice to see you hear and we will lap up all the great things you have to say about our great country it is pretty obvious that you think pretty highly of it and you have never actually been here so get your butt into gear and come over to see what you have been talking about

Thanks for the welcome and I'd love to visit there someday, but as I said in another thread, wanting to come and actually doing it are two different things, unfortunately. Hopefully I can see the places I've read about and researched so much on (don't worry, I'm careful to not get my hopes up TOO high, never a good thing when faced with reality )so anyhow.. Hi again and thanks.

Thanks Kall. Oh, I had originally planned to wear several crosses while chatting here and then call a couple catholic priests to perform a net-exorcism but I decided not to, takes the adventure out of posting on an "evil" board. Heh
