Everyone please give a warm SDMB welcome to my husband, Dannyness! Hooray! I’ve lured him in to this crazy den of psychos, let’s see if you people scare him away, or if he gets addicted enough to pay his membership.
In order to acquaint him with this board and the neat people here, I thought it would be fun if people could post their favorite threads from years past, or random little rules and tidbits that he should know.
Welcome, Dannyness, we shall try to amuse, entertain, and educate you all at the same time. I would advise you to avoid Great Debates unless you have a hard copy of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, a King James Version of the bible, and a witness to your last bowel movement.
To let you know me, here are my favorite threads that I started:
People aren’t actually members until they pay, are they? Not to be mean or anything, but I’ll welcome people when they pony up. Although that isn’t very hospitable, is it? You might want to watch out for the cranky old hands, Dannyness.
My wife is such an enabler. This is her first step in getting me hooked and…well…it’s working. I’m lucky I’m not a heroin addict or she would probably spike my vein for me. Luckily I’m not that kind of doper.
I finally gave in. Our computers are in the same room so every once in a while I’ll hear her giggling at somebody’s brilliance or stupidity and I’ll finally ask what the hell is so funny. Time to find out for myself.
So here I am! Thanks for the warm welcomes. featherlou has a point, though. Until I shed my guest status I cannot truly call myself a doper. I know I’ve got to pay my dues both literally and figuratively.
Welcome, dannyness! Although I’ve been here since the dawn of time (but not since AOL, as I’m sure someone will point out), by a strange coincidence my favorite thread just happens to have been posted earlier today. It’s here:
One of mine that I started, which I am pleased to say made Threadspotting: My Sacrilegious Husband. I keep meaning to elaborate on the Nativity…I should start making plans now.
Our regular goat is on vacation. The three-legged pygmy goat will have to fill in. She’s not in a very good mood this week, but she’s not nearly as cranky as the squid.
We’re running a little low on maple syrup for the ceremony, but Frank should have the trampoline fixed by Friday morning. Little Bird did warn you about the part with the speaker wire and the distributor cap, right?
Welcome to the fray, Dannyness. You already have the markings of a good Doper, so I expect to see more good things in the future. You’ve already bitten the lure, and as you are coming to find out, resistance is futile. You will be assimilated and subjected to mixed metaphors. And goats and squid. And The Great and Powerful Lonk, if ever he turns up from his last binge session.
In the mean time, enjoy your stay. Try the veal. And uh … don’t go into room 113, because … just don’t.
