I've been lurking around the board for a while and finally decided to join in the fun! I guess you can say I'm newer to the world of Gatch, but I think my story is pretty much the same as most of us... I remember watching BoTP when I was younger, then when I watched the Rhino release, I started watching the Gatchaman episodes. Then I found the ADV release, and well, I guess you can say it's all been downhill since then! (I'm actually still watching the ADV release - I'm up to episode 76). I do have one personal Gatch-related fun fact to share... If what I've read is true, it seems Ken and I have something in common - our birthdays!! I read somewhere that someone figured out his birthday was April 4, which is mine too. I love that little piece of trivia - it makes me so happy! Anyway, I'm looking forward to being part of this little corner of the world! Hinotori

Welcome Hinotori to the madhouse. I see we have another Eagle for the Swans to enjoy.

Welcome, Hinotori! It's wonderful to see a newly addicted Gatch fan! I have pretty much the same story as you, only that happened to me about a year or so ago. I look forward to seeing you around the board!

Welcome Hinotori! Fell free to join in the madness share pics/fics and anything else.

We have another Eagle!!!!! Welcome Hino! from a swan

Welcome Hinotori! I'm new here myself

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I didn't realize that Eagles were in such high demand around here! I'm so glad I can help out.

Yes we have 10 Swans who like to fight with....umm over.... their Eagle. With so few Eagles around some are becoming Condor Fans. I have been hoping that would leave more Eagle for me, but they keep telling me that is not so.

Welcome, Hinotori!! Glad to see you here.

Welcome, Hino! I'm another Swan, but a Condor preferring Swannie..... Tony - love the chuzzles in the car!

*Looks up chuzzles*... I definitely see the resemblance, but those guys in the DeLorean car are actually the ghosts from Pac-man (Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde). Pac-man and DeLoreans are two of my favorite interests, so I decided to merge them together. Glad you like the pic though! And this is one gross Pacman smiley!

Heh heh, they do look like chuzzles. Not to hijack Hinotori's thread but this is for Tony (I couldn't resist)... Cheers, Tim

Uh, Tim.... you forgot having them bop to 'What Is Love'! Oh, and Tony, ITA about that smilie... I just saw it for the first time a few days ago... I'm still wondering about it, and all of my thoughts are NOT good.

Don't worry about thread hijacking. It happens to all threads, if you have not noticed. What amazes me is how quickly it turns to talk about smut. *And by Cloud writing that. It has already occured.*

Being the newbie, I don't think I'd be able to stop a thread hi-jacking even if I wanted to (or smut for that matter)! Tori

And if you truly WANTED to get rid of the smut, you wouldn't fit in as well.

You guys don't know me well enough for me to start that stuff - yet! Hinotori

But if you startedm we'd know you better in a hurry... Check out the Rubber Room if you want some smut...

Nonsense, Hino. Your smilie tells us all we need to know! So - do you write smut?

*pops out of codeine haze* Did someone mention smut? Welcome Hino! I think you'll fit right in here, the swans are always looking for fresh meat!

Hello to you all Yes I am still alive peeps *grin grin*
