Hi from a long time lurker

When i was about 11 i stole the slidey bit from a lock in one of the toilets at school. It was the only toilet that worked and when everybody else used it they made it disgusting so i decided to make it my own private toilet. The lock had been broken so that if you had the bit that was meant to slide across you could still use it. My friends all loved me for it cos we got special use of the best toilet in the school. I think i still have it somewhere...

Well, allow me to be the first to welcome you, and congratulations on coming out of the water closet, so to speak.

Welcome to the boards, Salty Captain!

Now, did your friends make the toilet disgusting too, or did their excrement smell like roses?

I'm guessing this was for the "Dumbest thing you ever stole" thread?
Your off to a good start .
Welcome to the SDMB, remember to keep swearing to a minimal and crack off bad jokes as often as humanly possible.

Welcome to the boards! And see, posting for the first time isn't nearly as painful as you think. And you're only sore for a little while after that.

Lmao, ok, something went wrong here. Somewhere long the line what i meant to post in another thread about stealing weird things ended up here. Do i win the award for the most random first post?

*Runs away from tutting and crys of 'Newbies!! Who needs 'em?', hanging head in shame*

What i rudely forgot to mention in that last post was that I'm grateful for all of your welcomes and I hope to make some good friends here. What i meant to say in the OP was that I've been reading these boards for some time and decided that its finally time to talk to you all. I wouldn't be suprised if that message is floating around in some other inrelated thread

HELLo?! I think that's the first post by Q.E.D. that has left me baffled. Puzzle posts excluded, of course. Something to do with Wearia's post, perhaps? Or, is this becoming the "random thoughts coming out of left field" thread?

I really wish my neck would stop hurting. Just in case.

That is such a cool name for a car.

I wrote a story the other day about a bear who fights crime.

Well, since people have started joining in...
