I guess I was remiss in that duty.
Please extend a warm welcome to Joel; I think he’s around here somewhere. I know I’ve seen him in IMHO, GQ, and stirring up trouble in GD.
It has taken me a year and a half to convince him to join, I hope he doesn’t make me regret it 
Have fun posting, hunny bunny!
The last time I saw a thread that started with someone calling someone else “hunny bunny”, it continued with guns popping up everywhere, an attempt at robbery, and unmitigated amounts of gore, sleaze and assorted unpleasantnesses. Or maybe that was a movie? 
Welcome, Joel sweetheart! Do you mind if I call you schmoopy?
You may have noticed that my fiancé (DeathLlama) recently succombed to the SDMB…it only took two and a half years! I asked about starting a welcome thread similar to this one, but as is his style, he prefers to just lay low and speak for himself.
Hooray for significant others sharing their SDMB addiction!
Uhhhmmmmm…NO! I’m not that kind of guy. 
Sure you are! You’re my fuzzy little bunny all stuffed with hunny
I’m not sure… That sounds like either Pulp Fiction or a typical GD thread (except maybe without the hunny bunny part).
To demonstrate that we at the Straight Dope deal in precision and correctness, I will point out that I asked “do you mind if I call you schmoopy” and Joel answered NO!
Yes, he’s schmoopy!
Arnold, Joel doesn’t mind if you call him schmoopy, but I think he prefers “moogy.”
Yes, BUT, you know what I MENT, even if I wasn’t precise and correct about the way I posted it. Oh, well, at any rate, to show that i’m not a poor sport, you can can call me anything, but “Late for Dinner.”
I haven’t heard that in a year to two. You’ve got a good memory.
Awwww, Gr8kat and her widdle Boo Boo! Do you mind if I call you that? Yes? Thought so. Doesn’t matter.
Or am I getting myself into a heap of trouble with this?

You misspelled “meant.”
Welcome to Smartass Heaven…er, the SDMB, Joel.
Welcome to the board Joel.
Well, spelling is one of my week points. 
But thank goodness for spell checkers.
To bad that there isn’t one built into this web site.
2sense is right–I’m an evil, evil man

Really?
(Sorry, Joel–I have plenty of misspellings in my posts. But I’m better than my sister–she once sent me a letter in which she misspelled her own name.
