Another one ;)

Why would we ask if you're a Mexican gay man?

Some people have dirty minds and deliberately interpret everything in a sexual context. I'm guessing something about the name, but I don't want to think too hard about it and don't really want to know the answer.

Welcome, brother Bender. It's good to see you "on the other side". You will be among friends here.

 

[Aspychata]

We welcome you to our tribe. Warpaint and piercings are optional.

 

[Thinx]

Hi and Welcome. I didn't realise the warpaint and piercings were optional, but I ve got used to them now... I hope you enjoy it here, mostly we are friendly in between war dances.

 

[Gerontius]

Hello Bender & glad you also made the switch from W.P.!

 

[Saphira]

Hello Bender.

I am also from the other side of the lagoon.

Heard lots of lovely things about you.

 

[Ella Spell]

"Bender" was also the cool guy in The Breakfast Club.

Very fitting.

Hi and welcome. You sound quite similar to me. Some differences on ispecifics and nterests as can be expected. Cooking/Food prep is one of those things I least enjoy in life. Given a choice I would rather do just about anything short of becoming an oar slave on an Roman galley. Ironic how life put me in recent years as the main cook/food prepper for wife and 4 Chihuahuas. Kids are grown and out now and I get to be homemaker of family V2.

Welcome Bender!
Glad to see you on this side where the grass is always greener.
Good place here. Hope you enjoy.

 

[Major Tom]

Welcome, that was a good introduction for never having written one.

Thank you all again for the warm welcome!

Regarding the name - I hope my comment wasn't inappropriate: "bender" is a slang term for gay man mostly in British English I think and in the past, I have been asked that question surprisingly often.

Hullo.

Hi, unperson, may I ask if you used to have a WP account a long time ago? After joining I read through the archives there a lot and remember someone what this name making some very interesting posts.

Thanks for the explanation. While I didn't find your comment remotely offensive, I did not understand the context, since in the US the word bender is related to drinking.

 

[BenderRodriguez]

Like going on a bender, right?

 

[Karamazov]

Yep, that usage is also present in British English: so you can be a bender on a bender.
