Default A quick intro (if nobody minds)

Pardon the new guy, but I just wanted to take a second to introduce myself: probably for the best you guys know what you just let on here, lol.

I have to admit I've known about this place for some time, but haven't had any reason to join really. Well, I finally got off my lazy transom (pardon the horrible analogy...but get used to them, they're more common that dud Mk14s in '42 with me...) and got Silent Hunter 4...a game Ive wanted ever since it came out in '07...and I suppose that's as good a reason as any to finally join the ranks here!

I've always been a bit of a history Nerd, so if I go off on a tangent, feel free to shout at me. Also, do us all a favor and don't let me anywhere near the helm whilst unattended. At least, that is, if you want the boat back in the same shape is was when you left it! If anybody need me, I'll be aboard U.S.S. Lionfish, probably chasing after my version of the white whale...a certain 60,000+ton battleship.

also, if you don't hear from me for a while, Alert the Falcon: I've probably steamed face first in to a sandbar or something. (should probably warn you about the bad jokes too...)

why, because of the history nerd part or the regularly breaking the boat part?

for the record I try not to use the USS Growler as a role model, but lets just say I've hit my fair share of seamounts and reefs in the few days I've been playing. If its any consolation the IJN seem to have helmsmen just as drunk and *challenged* (COUGH) as me...I just watched a Kuma class T-bone a Fubuki a while ago. still annoyed I didn't have any ready tubes then, I could have seriously had some fun...

EDIT: at least I think it was a Fubuki: I was too busy laughing to tell!

Welcome to the boat.

A few words of warning...

Don't mind the squirrel, he's harmless except when hungry.

Put in an immediate request for a different rack...

Bernard's place is called "Chicago" for a good reason.

Get your gear stowed and grab an oar.

SURPRISE!
You can't possibly break what's already broken.

And if you want a giggle, do a little search here on bernard. It'll go waaaaay back, but it's worth it.
