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. 
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.
But if you’re really looking for wolves, maia, I’m sure that you can get Huan to hunt down a few of 'em for ya.
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.
Heh, heh. You wish! 
Sorry, th’ Timrlords have expressly forbidden such goings on. This, after they completely mucked up the Melbourne Cup trifecta last year, and ended up betting on the ambulance instead.
Forget about posting while drinking – I shouldn’t post before I’ve had the morning coffee!
I’ll fix that up now. Pity about th’ “Timrlords” (Heh!)
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!!
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?
I’ve been looking for an appropriate place to ask this, and this looks like as good a place as any: what the heck does MPSIMS mean? Don’t mind me. I’m a little new around here.
Mindless Pointless Stuff I Must Share. And you’re right - this thread is about as mindless and pointless as any…
Make that MUNDANE Pointless, etc… Jeez - See why we need to be able to edit around here? Even when I previewed it got by me.
I seem to have jumped onto the Phax welcome wagon.
I WANT MY OWN WAGON!

peeks outta the corner of her eye to see if any sympathy is forthcoming

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.
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. 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. :))

And just to complete the initiation process (well, as much as can be done witout the plushy porn and the goat)…
