Oh **Ice Wolf** , I can chat it up with the best of them. Remember…I mentioned that I bite. 😉 ---

And th’ bemused, tatty old Kiwi she-wolf loner-extraordinaire sits back to observe the entertainment ahead on the SDMB, and says: “Cool!” Nice to meet up with you, **maia**. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ice Wolf \* > \*\*Hi, **Phax**. > > Regarding the homepage link – at the time, I must have tried entering the URL manually. It didn’t have all the components. I’ve fixed it now, but it wouldn’t be of much interest to you, as it’s only a site for the local history and Historical Society stuff I do. Unless you’re in Avondale, it’d probably bore ya within a minute. 🙂 > > Oh, and thanks for that link! I saw that here on SDMB a long while back, laughed myself silly at the time, then lost track of it! Great – I’ll bookmark that for another time now, ta! 😃 \*\* Hi **Ice Wolf -** Actually, I’ve always liked history, even if it’s not my own. I checked it out; it’s interesting. Glad you liked the link. By the way, no, I’m not going anywhere. I’ll probably hang out at both boards I guess. The lovely Mrs. Phax sees me on the computer more and more. Probably thinks I’m surfing the porn sites or something. ---

Well, hopefully this place can keep you amused so you’ll stick around, and further intensify the suspicions of your lovely missus. 🙂 Thanks for the comment on my site. Much appreciated, **Phax**. ---

The one thing that might drive me away is the sllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwness of this server. If it gets any worse, I’m going to ask for my money back. Oh, wait a minute…🙂 OK. Here’s the plan. Tomorrow, which will be my day after tomorrow, find a U.S. paper someplace and find the lottery numbers for either Illinois or The Big Game. Then email the numbers to me. I’ll play them during my tomorrow and win! I’ll send you half. ---

**Phax** Try not to drink anything while opening up new threads. Countless keyboards have been ruined by members taking a big gulp of their favorite beverage and then not being able to control their reflexes (mostly the laughing one) due to the incredibly hillarious dry wit that some of the members seem to exude. I have never been accused of causing such a reaction, so feel free to open any of my threads while drinking (preferrably Crown Royal on the rocks). Oh, and welcome the hell aboard. (From one of the members who had to spoonerize his username to sign up.) Please reply, otherwise I get pissed off. Thankyou. ---

This, after they completely mucked up the Melbourne Cup trifecta last year, and ended up betting on the ambulance instead. 🙂 ---

Just stopped by to bring Imaginary Welcome Cookies to **Phax** and **maia** … Hope you enjoy 'em. You’ll have to make up your own flavors, 'cause I can’t decide what they are, right now. Chocolatey or raisiney or nutty, in some way, no doubt. Welcome!! ---

Thankyou. \*\* Well, I wouldn’t want to piss you off, **whuckfistle** so thanks for your warm welcome. Actually, yes I do usually drink and surf, so thanks for the warning. Good morning **Ice Wolf** Guess I’ll have to find some other way to get rich. “Timrlords”? Thanks for the cookies **Kn\*ckers**. And thanks for telling me they’re there. I have a habit of deleting cookies when I do maintenence on my confuser, er, computer, and I might have deleted them by accident if I didn’t know they were there. No milk? ---

Hi, newbies! Welcome Phax! 'Scuse me, Ms Maia, but I’m here for just the Phax, ma’am. Oh, all right. Hi Maia. Welcome to the SDMB. 🙂 Please stop crying, now. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by maia \* > **You guys are a regular pack of wolves…should I be scared?** We have lots of other critters, too. Whether you should be scared depends on how hard you bite. And, how nicely do we have to ask, to get you to bite? 😃 This thread is growing faster than I can preview it! ---

Welcome to the boards, **Phax** and **maia**! Before you ask, my username has nothing to do with flames, fire, hamsters, or BBQ grills. [Here’s the explanation.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=105572&highlight=brief+explanation+handl) So I don’t want to hear either of you saying stuff like, “Oh, that **Flamsterette\_X** sure starts / puts out a lot of fires, doesn’t she?” Got it? Good. Now, for more detail on me, check out my blog in the “www” link… but only if ya want to. 🙂 Advice for you? Well… **Ice Wolf** and the rest of this lot have given you all the advice I probably would have. And in case they’re reading this… here’s a hello for **Ice Wolf** and **TLD**. 🙂 And yes… sometimes if you don’t reply, I get pissy. You don’t want to risk that now, do ya? 😃 F\_X ---

Okay, anybody who’s still got enough energy out there – how about a rousing: Hello, **maia**!!! There. Now you _can’t_ feel left out after that, now can you? 🙂 Ta for th’ mention/greeting, **Flamsterette\_X**. Good seein’ you around! (And yes, **Phax** , now is th’ time of the day when Wolfie can type out “Timelords”, and get it right. Caffiene and junk food can do wonderful things. :)) ---
