Evening all, I am new here! Say hello!

[llcoolbj77]

I’m glad to know that I wasn’t the only one who lurked here for years before actually signing up. Don’t tell Bricker, but he was one of the reasons I joined. Lawyer thing and shit…

I was getting my lurk on. So to speak.

Have you earned your Fighting Ignorance merit badge yet? Exactly what type of ignorance are you qualified to fight? We have standards you know - and in some areas we are full up, but there are some openings. You can Fight Ignorance about leafy vegetables, economic trade patterns in sub-Saharan Africa, yurt construction and the use of snoods in WW2 - we have availability in each. But don’t try to claim England or Colombia or anything like that - we have more Ignorance Fighting Capacity (IFC) in those areas than we know what to do with, lemme tell ya.
As an aside - is it just me, or do we seem to be entertaining an influx of new IFC - i.e., a buncha folks new to the Dope? I feel like I am seeing a bunch of new names these days…

Bienvenido.

Confío en que, estando tú casado con una colombiana, ¿posees cierto dominio de la lengua española? Si no, mereces ser castigado con cien golpes de un fideo mojado.

Siéntate, como IvoryTowerD. te ha mandado, y se llevará a cabo la pena.

p.d. Mi nombre de pantalla es anglosajón, y se traduce a “sangre de reyes”. Te lo explico porque la gente siempre asume que soy mujer. Parece tener algo que ver con “Cyn—” como en “Cynthia”, sabes.

However, we do have some serious ignorance fighting trouble spots, and an evolving situation that has resulted in an immediate opening in [thread=560113]Cow Anuses.[/thread] So to speak.

Which means, glad to have you aboard, aaronstevens134. I should also note that you can ask to change your Username if this one becomes unwieldy, or if one of the other clones of Aaron Stevens disputes your decanting order.

[whisper] I think the new people are coming in from Amazon, backtracking their way along Ed Zotti’s money making scheme’s trail. [/whisper]

[purplehorseshoe]

Welcome, lurker.

I lurked for a long time before I joined, too! So a bunch of names were already familiar to me and I probably acted like I knew my way around while everyone’s all “Who’s the new kid?”

Anyway, howdy.

D’oh! Sorry! Won’t happen again.

[Cat_Whisperer]

Hello!

[Dallas_Jones]

Welcome Aaron!

There are some really nice people in this board. Unfortunatly they hardly ever actually post.

So don’t get discouraged by the vocal few.

[Czarcasm]

@IvoryTowerDenizen

When’d we get decor?

When I finished eating de apple, of course.

My name’s in there. What’d you say?

[Autolycus]

@aaronstevens134

and am married to a beautiful Colombian lady.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

[figure9]

Question, how does an Englishman end up marrying a Colombian lady? There has to be a story behind that. Hopefully a very romantic story. Details give us details.

[Equipoise]

I knew aaronstevens96. You sir, are no aaronstevens96! Thank goodness. He was kindofa jerk.

I’m confused about de apple thing. Why the roll-eye from twickster?

Wow, who’s the expert in yurt construction? I missed that thread.

Welcome 134th Aaron Stevens! I am Equipoise, resident expert on…well, ok, not a lot and nothing anywhere near as interesting as yurt construction, unless you’re into Kate Bush or Happy Rhodes, or want to know what movies might be nominated for an Oscar a few months before the nominations come out (I predicted the nominations of both Slumdog Millionaire and The Hurt Locker several months in advance. Didn’t predict the wins though).
