Thanks! I love your avatar. So cute!

[doomguy]

i am only 1/4 Polish!

I am 1/2 Polish!

I am naturally shy, but I'll make an effort to not exclude myself from the groups.

[Anka]

i'll make sure to say hi ... except for these two situations:

1. i won't recognize some of you... i know we all have photos, but in reality we all may look different hence the uncertainty. Even so, i might end up saying hi to some total random guy and make a new friend and forget about you :)
Our common friends might help me out here so ...you 'll see me at some point. And also find out if i made new friends while looking for you....

2. If you're running around naked screaming how much you loooooove Justin Beiber ... i will most likely pretend i don't know you. However, you can still approach me and ... *cough* introduce yourself. But you won't get a hug.

[MadameLePink]

I'm easily recognizable, so I expect people to come and say hello and do all the work for me

[Surt]

Thank you very much survivors! Although I am not that shy it is nice to read that you are always friendly to the newbies.
Otherwise everybody knows that metalheads are always evil.

I think it will be very easy to recognize you Kevin. You are the guy with the Morbid Angel Shirt and a tube of vegimite.

Although I can't manage to be that often in the forum I am looking forward to meet all of you. It is really a nice community. Of course it is, we are all metalheads.

By the way my real name is Gerrit.

See you soon!

[NuuX]

Will there be another "metal breakfast"? I remember in 2011 there was like 50 sign-ups and then when I got there I only met Rob and another couple

[nidas_mate]

I'm a newbie. Very nervous......and so excited i could shit my pants!! So, if anyone smells like shit on the boat it's probably me cant wait!

[Memnoch]

So, if anyone smells like shit on the boat it's probably me

Nope, that would be the mighty mooyagicorn.

[metal_steve]

This is precisely why I changed my avatar tonight...must ensure I am recognizable

[pablov8]

I'm a little shy when it comes to talk with big groups of people that know each other, but I think beer would kill that.

Anyways, if you see a guy wearing this in their clothes, then it's surely me:

[Whiskeyjack]

River Plate, yeah?

[pablov8]

River Plate, yeah?

oh yeah

[Ravenlord]

Fair warning:
I'm shit with remebering ppl, even those I've met in the past.
Especially ppl I meet only briefly at festivals or shows.

If I walk right by you I am not trying to ignore you, I'm suffering from beer or gnoff.

Same. Although I don't think I've ever suffered from Gnoff. Most likely the beer.

[KevinP]

I think it will be very easy to recognize you Kevin. You are the guy with the Morbid Angel Shirt and a tube of vegimite. !

I won't have the MA shirt with me this go around. But the Vegemite will be there. And I'll be easily spotted on Australia Day

Hmm, didn't realise there was an Australia day. Well I have an Australia shirt... guess I'll bring it along and try give the Aussies a bad reputation.

[TARSUS]

[Jaimie38]

When's Australia Day??? I'll wear my Holden Racing shirt!!

Also, for Craig (Disaster Area) and myself, Jan 25 is Robbie Burns Day( Scottish Holiday)... do they serve Scotch on the ship??
I'll spend most of my time on the Pool Deck... I am the most un-metal looking guy!

[Bentz!]

I am the most un-metal looking guy!

Wha'choo talkin' bout?

[Ravenlord]

Yeah, judging by facebook (no offense to anybody) you have some real competition this year

[mooyagi]

Hey! I always clean up afterwards

Thursday, January 26 is Australia Day Jaimie.

I've posted a pic of myself in the Post Your Pic thread so hopefully should be easy enough to recognize.

[Jebus_Cripes]

I tend to be shy in large gathering situations so hopefully I'll just get over that.

[metalgoddess]

Will there be another "metal breakfast"? I remember in 2011 there was like 50 sign-ups and then when I got there I only met Rob and another couple

We were supposed to meet upstairs, but they had it closed off!

I thought I recognized a few people in the dining area, but Ron wanted to eat and get going.

Here is the most recent picture of the two of us right before I won front row tix to Sammy Hagar at the fair a couple months ago! He grew the beard cause he was tired of the Ozzy references.

I just noticed, it looks like that piranha is gonna bit my bewb!!! LOL

[Laura]

Hey Jebus - I'm not a shy person, but I think if I was, the cruise would still be great "meeting-people-wise" - everyone is so friendly and on cloud 9 because the atmosphere is so cool.

[Tyr]

Aww Kevin, what a nice thread


This one is really cool!! You look very angelic with all the white, it and you are very pretty

Are you talking to me?

[Stained Class]

Once in a while Kevin posts something rational like this to remind everyone that he isn't actually a hateful crazy person. My avatar is from too far away so I'll just post a picture of myself (and my cutypie neice, born in August )

[Alex Fields]

If you see any of us veterans by ourselves or in a group, don't feel weird/ackward/creepy to introduce yourself. No one here bites and everyone gets along remarkably well.

There are NO cliques or inner circle bullshit things. We're all just one big happy group (old, new, polish, half Mexican, power metallers, etc. we accept them all )


And nothing pisses me off more than "people feeling excluded from a group". I just won't stand for that (though I'd be shocked if that was even an issue).

Thanks Kevin , since I'm new, power metaller and half mexican (and the other half too haha), but I'm quite different from the typical mexican image, in fact I hate it:



I'm not a native english speaker neither but I think I can make friends since here are people who share many tastes with me, even besides the metal, like beer, ribs, broads, etc. actually I wonder why we dont have a ribs smilie haha

[mooyagi]

If you like good food you'd never eat at Applebee's Not all Mexicans look like that? I give Kate a pass because she's half gringa but I'm quite disappointed.

[Tyr]

I am not very shy and will roam around and talk to everyone,
and if its seems I am ignoring you, I probably am,
but that's not something a kick in the ass won't fix.

OH MY!!

Wonder if I can grow a mega-mullet in 2 weeks!

[EvilDan]

I have to say it does highlight the cute freckles

You saying there are "non-cute" freckles that don't show up in the pic? I don't think so. They are ALL cute freckles.

Surprised the pic is up this early. But thanks.

[viathyn]

I'm sure many of us will be recognized from our postings, antics, and pictures that have shown up around here! Good thread idea.

If anyone recognizes me, please come by and say hello. I am friendly, but only so-so with names haha.

[Blackfhyre]

a picture of me so you can recognize

[EvilDan]

Since people are talking about shyness, let me first admit that I am horrible with people's names. Also, please forgive me, while I'm not shy, my "personal space bubble" is a lot larger than most people's. So forgive me if I back away when talking. Also, I can have issues with crowds, so please don't take offense if I suddenly bolt for an area with more space. Might also want to be careful about sudden grabs or movements towards me.

I don't expect this to actually be an issue, extremely rare, but wanted to give people a heads up. Nothing is intended to be personal. I let people know, in no uncertain terms, if that's the case.

BTW, Rhia + Conrad + Dan = 1 whole polish person.

Do sudden grabs, movements and personal space invasions apply to females too or just the males?

What a great picture! It will be great to see you two again.

[viathyn]

To add to my previous post...this is what I look like tired, sunburnt, drunk, and happy. (Last night of last year's cruise)

The 70000 Tons of Metal Syndrome

[Eternity]

I intend to be shy until lunch time the second day. Then I'll say screw it and go talk to people. If anyone recognizes me before that, come say hi! We're really friendly, just too polite to start a conversation. Meekness is our national sport!

Also: People from western Canada especially, I wanna say hi. More metalhead friends in Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver are good. Considering I don't really know any anymore.

I'm not posting additional pictures of me because I'm lazy... I may do so later tonight. But just remember, I can be identified as such: Power metal weenie, has a tendency to posture his hair more like a girl's than a real metalhead's, usually travels with the cyborg(1), might say aboot(2).

(1) - If there happens to be more than one wheelchair lady onbroad, look for the one with an orca tattooed on her back. If there are more than one of them... well shit, I'm screwed too.

(2) - Needs to be tested. Require's Gnoff's assistance in this highly scientific matter.

And speaking of Gnoff, you better be wearing the meta-helmet, otherwise I won't know who the hell you are!
