Cause he’s my friend, and he just registered, and I want to make him feel welcome before we tell him about the Initiation Ritual. ---

Hi The Tim. How are you? Have you learned the meaning of felching and squicking yet? ---

There’s been a problem… the goat wasn’t shaved properly. What should I do? The caramel will solidify soon! Oh, um… welcome, The Tim. Pay no attention to me and remember that handcuffs, when used in a careful setting, can be both fun and healthy. ---

Thanks for the welcome. I’m doing well enough, though I’m just getting over a nasty cold, thanks for asking ssskuggiii. Do I need to bring anything special to the ritual, or is it just an arrive blindfolded and naked sort of thing? ---

Hi **The Tim**! Some Kleenex amd Chapstick might be a good idea. Arriving nude is optional, but I think you’ve already guessed that doing so will save time. No blindfold-- we want you to remember everything about this lil’ treat… 😃 ---

Hello, The Tim. I am happy to meet you, happy to greet you, happy to refuse to define felching and squicking for you. Trust me, this last refusal is something I only do because I like you. Trust me. I wish someone had been this kind to me. Scotti ---

Happy to meet you! I hope you won’t mind if I don’t stay for the ritual; I’m a little squeamish. . . -----:eek: —////\\ ---

Damn. Tasha beat me to the felching thing. Oh well, welcome. And don’t worry, the initiation ritual isn’t too painful. ---

Hello, **the Tim** Have fun with the initiation. Sometimes they use an alpaca, but I don’t can’t really say,'cos they haven’t found me yet. It’s a tough life, being a newbie. I find that it helps to hide. Under the carpet if necesary, but not under the gerbil or the goat or even the guanaco. Oh, You sad crazy fool, I wish you well:) ---

I think I’ve got the rest of the stuff we need for the ritual, but… \ _How the heck are we supposed to get the hamsters into the accordion?_ \ I mean, unless I use some of this canola oil to…oh, I get it. ::wanders away, humming industriously:: ---

I see from your webpage that you’re a Simpsons fan–you should fit in well here. We seem to have a fair amount of Simpsons threads–at least two or three are fairly active still. Enjoy your time here.
