Some of us Dopers (me) are anal-retentive about grammar. Your thread title should read, “May I have a little welcome party?” 😉 Welcome to the boards. ---

My sincere apologies **FireUnderpantsBobs**. I’m only a high school student. Forgive me. By the way, I managed to think of a SN to rival the one I enjoyed I enjoyed as a lurker, **FireUnderpantsBoobs** ---

I’m a HS student too, **(ynh)**. By the way, seroiusly, when I saw your name on the forum page, I was going to add it to the “Nifty User Names” thread if I could find it. I’m too lazy to search, though. Sorry. Maybe you can pop in and mention yourself for me - thanks so much. ---
