In a [recent pit thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=84413), a relative newbie (to posting anyway), has shown himself to be a poster that I think will make a great addition to this board. Maybe it’s just that he took the time to lurk and figure things out before posting, and so knows what this place is about. Or maybe it was the elegant put-down of **buddhadog** ’s incoherent blather. Either way, welcome to the boards, **Slip Mahoney**! We’ve been getting a lot of newbies lately, and it’s usually the jerks who get noticed. I just wanted to show some appreciation for the type of newbie we want. Oh, and a cheer or two for **Legomancer** too. I recognise the name from the SomethingAwful boards, and he seems clueful too. ---

Well, I’ll be damned! I hesitated opening this thread. I thought It might be along the lines of, “Great. Yet another moose fondling, igloo building, hockey loving Canuck. They think they’re so hot, with their good beer and free medical care. Go shovel the sidewalk, Slip. You don’t have the necessary coolth to hang with us.” Then I thought, nah, they don’t bash you in this forum. Thank you for your mentions, guys. I promise to resist the temptation to go on a posting spree. I’ve learned that if you read ten times more than you post, you’re much less likely to make a fool of yourself. Thanks, again, guys. ---

I don’t want to sound like a copycat or nothin’ but I did just read the Hypocrites thread and Slip Mahoney’s posts and well… I’ll be honest with you. I’m a little damp.

And there was much gnashing of teeth among the SD male population, for Slip has made jarbaby’s harem in less than 50 posts. There is a God, after all. Thanks, jarbaby. You’re one of my faves. Damn. Popped all the buttons on my shirt. ---

I’d say my favorite example of his sly deduction and impish humor is found in this [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=84694). Notice the way he deftly skewered the previous poster, how he made his point with wit and charm and devastating accuracy. More posts like those **Slip** and you’ll be a drooling idiot like the rest of us in no time at all. Welcome aboard. ---

Considering the mad crush I had on his namesake (or did I get that backwards??), I’ve got to say **Slip** is definitely on my list of people whose stuff I’ll seek out and read. OK, so it’s a pretty long list, but it’s an honor nonetheless. No, really, it is!! [sub]I loved the Bowery Boys!![/sub] ---

My name is Slip Mahoney. Since I can’t post more than seven (7) sentences at a time, I must space out every one. This way it looks as if I have some undissembling and satiat information to contribute. I am a goubemouche and a badaud.

Hi, **BuddhaDog**. My name is Coldfire, and I moderate this forum. I’m sure you’ve got the Message Board Rules firmly in the back of your head, what with you registering a mere 4 days ago. In these rules, the phrase _“Don’t be a jerk”_ may have caught your eye. Also, the words _“Don’t piss off the moderators”_ ought to sound familiar. Furthermore, our [main page](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/index.php) contains very nifty Forum Descriptions for your convenience. I’m sure I don’t _have_ to spell it out for an individual so smart as yourself, but just in case: **another post in MPSIMS like the one above, and you’re out of here.** Understood? Cool. ---

All the welcoming I did for all those newbies and what did it get me? _Nada_.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. And **BuddhaDog** , thanks for reprising my greatest hits.🙂 Sorry I can’t return the favor, but you don’t give a guy much to work with. And that’s all I’m going to say about that. I’ve figured out that it’s not wise to get on the wrong side of Coldfire. Had you lurked for a while like I did, you would have known that, too.
