All right, you pass. Just beware of the door on the left…I don’t think lieu has gotten the message yet.
Not to worry, I’ll be on the lookout for that door (looks nervously over shoulder).
But wait, that’s where the pencil sharpener is! How will little Finally get his homework done?
That’s just the beginning. We have more questions than OKCupid interviewing the Maytag repairman:
- Tintin or Astérix?
- Coke or Pepsi?
- Metric or English?
- French or Spanish?
And did you bring your duck?
Also, before you do anything else, do go up to the 2nd floor on the East Wing, and see Matron about those boils.
While you’re there, please ask her if she can give me anything for my double-posting problem.
Hello mate have yourself a good time here,I’m alright but you want to watch out for the others.
Welcome, Finally!
You are hereby cordially invited to participate in the 10th annual newbie tossing competition. You will of course be provided with full costume and sufficient padding to withstand a drop of up to 5 meters with minimal bruising. Your participation will earn you fame[sup][/sup], fortune[sup][/sup], and a roast suckling pig[sup][/sup]. Additionally, should your tosser win, you will share in a celebratory victory by being allowed to divert attention from the congratulatory leers of the Great Lonk, thereby doing a great service to your tosser.
Please see the squid in Room 304 for your fitting.
Note: Should you elect to pass on this wonderful opportunity, you will be required to fill out a forty-page participation declination form in quadruplicate with a stubby pencil and no sharpener, then submit it to Horace the Whipping Ombudsman while kneeling and swearing fealty to his fifty pound death’s head belt buckle. It doesn’t actually mean anything, but we allow him his picayunes.
[sub]* Fame is fleeting. Your mileage may vary.
** Remuneration may take the form of food stamps and/or coupons good or 15% off your next Grand Slam breakfast at Denny’s.
*** Or portion thereof. Portion size to be determined by a best two of three rounds of Spin the Goat.[/sub]
Hey, wait, she’s not a n00b yet - she’s still a guest! Put the fancy squids away, man!
After the big announcement I have a feeling you members are going to have to get used to a big influx of new guests like Finally and me. With all the talk of required questionaires and Newbie Tossing competitions, maybe you all need to come up with some kind of Battle Royale where only the best and most worthy newbs survive.
As for the 4 questions:
- Duh, yay. Are there really people who say nay to Princess Bride??!
- Star Wars (even the prequels were better than Star Drek).
- Is this a trick question? Under the roll would signify a complete and total breakdown of society!! You must be trying to weed out anarchists.
- They’re all cool in my book. Kittehs don’t smell though so I give them a slight advantage.
Uh, no. Gotta collect 'em all!
On this board? <snerk>
We just put anarchists up against conservatives and take bets on the outcome.
And what about the answers to the other questions, eh?
Ah, there’s more? I have a terrible feeling I’m starting down a neverending slippery slope, but I’ll play along for now…
5) Huh? Before my time I suspect (Raised in the 80’s)
6) Either so long as it’s Diet (just for the taste of it).
7) English for temperature and personal dimensions (height/weight), metric the rest of the time.
8) Hablo poco Espanol solamente.
You’re not going to ask for a urine test or blood sample are you?
Ask? No.
I am *too new * to post in this thread…don’t want to get eaten by the pirhanas…
Welcome, hopefully you’ll choose to finally make your stay a more… permanent one.
:shifty eyes:
Well, considering that whatever board [del]ritual[/del] activity the newbie is engaged in when they snapshot the database for the server upgrade in the morning, he or she will be stuck in until the new server’s online next week, there may not be a choice…
Believe me, should you choose to pony up for a [DEL]membership[/DEL] subscription, the piranha will be the least of your worries . . .
I can say no more.
