Whee! I'm a member now - welcome me!

OK, I've been a non-member lurker for quite a long time. I've been a guest for not-quite 30 days, and it's been fun. I just got some disposable funds available and got myself signed up as an official member now. So - I'm hosting this thread for anyone who wants to say "hi" or "welcome" or offer sage words of advice or whatever. You can use this to ask me questions & get to know me a little, if you like - although I intend to preserve my anonymity as far as some things go.

C'mon in!

Welcome! Don't step on the cats. Would you care for a margarita?

Why, thank you! Rocks, no salt, please. And I would welcome the cats to sit next to me, if they like.

But does he like Yaks?

Pace yourself, YaWanna. It's a marathon around here, not a sprint.

In Hal's love of sheep we trust.

Welcome to the boards, YaWanna! *smooch* Just step right this way towards the big bubbling vat...

Welcome welcome welcome!

Say, weren't you on board for the Great Chick Pirate Boat Adventure? I seem to recall you from there...(checking that thread....). Yup, that was you. Well, welcome again.

Just keep your feet off the furniture and try not to get peanut shells in the cat's water dish, it gives them the trots.

Whew. That was a close one.

..."The Shongololo Express"?

Margaritas are always in plentiful supply, my dear (Sunspace, where's the hair net?) and we have a large selection of drinks at your disposal (Hal! Bring in the cherry stuff, not the lime!) any time you want to get thoroughly drunked. (All right, roll 'er in, guys!)

Now, if you'd just stand on this big red dot over here...

Welcome to our sandbox. You realize, of course, you're required to send me a love offering of fine chocolates. No, really - it's in your membership agreement, I'm almost certain.

:rummage rummage rummage:

Well, it seems we've got the ingredients for three different types of Margaritas: wasabi, rohypnol or bile. I've made up a pitcher of each (unlabled, of course), so drink up!

Hung Mung--be careful with those wasabi margaritas, will you? Remember what the EPA said last time: "No more sulphur without an environmental impact report."

Try increasing the iodine content this time instead.

Alright, who put the wasabi on the cats feet? If you don't like it, give it to the goats.

Can't have environmental impact without the report. I'll try to keep it to a quiet minimum, I promise.

But I wouldn't pull any fingers if I were you.

Those that know me, know that I would pop my head in here if the word "margarita" was used. Rocks, no salt, and a side-car of whatever to-kill-ya you have onhand, please!

Welcome aboard the Dope, YaWanna! It's a great place to hang out and learn and have fun. God knows I've done my share of all three. Oh yeah, and drink, too.
