Just popping in to welcome Sarah.
And to ask if I can get in on this initiation stuff? Sounds like … fun.
Perhaps.
A quick primer:
About This Message Board: “Where do I go on this board to find out about oranges?”
Comment on Cecil’s Columns: “Cecil made a mistake in his column about oranges…”
Comment on Staff Reports: “Chronos / Dex / Eutychus made a mistake in his column about oranges…”
General Questions: “What is an orange?”
Great Debates: “Orange harvesting is causing illegal drug trade in South America…”
Cafe Society: “Has anyone seen A Clockwork Orange?” or “Anybody know any good recipes for oranges?”
In My Humble Opinion: “Do you like oranges?”
Mundane and Pointless Stuff I Must Share: “I’m eating oranges!”
The BBQ Pit: “!)(*#%##! oranges!”
iampunha: You won’t need to outrun the goat! evil cackle

OK, so in keeping with the scale of the Supersized Goat, we need to get a “straw” made from PVC tubing, right?
Wait.
PVC tubing and goats…
Why does that sound familiar?
(pretends for a moment that this thread is still in ATMB)
I must point out that “Fritz Schnackenpfefferhausen” is twenty-eight characters long, and the maximum length for a username here is twenty-five characters. Or at least, it was last I knew, but it may have been decreased further since then.
You’re welcome.
That’s odd … I don’t see Bertha anywhere …
Oh, well, forget that. Meanwhile, enjoy the scrumptious buffet we have laid out.
We have Cabritos, Katsiki Kapama, Capra a Ra Vutana, Feuilleté de chèvre …
When we do the Dope version of Fear Factor, dibs on playing Joe Rogan. “That’s what I’m talkin’ about!”
Hal Briston must’ve forgotten to put her back again. 
The French Lieutenant’s Woman, as I just learned by Googling.
Sarah, once you become a full-fledged member*, you’ll be able to click on a poster’s name and find all contributions said poster has made to the SDMB. By looking in the upper right corner of each indexed post, you’ll be able to get a feel for where that individual hangs out. For example, I generally start my sessions in MPSIMS, as I’ve bookmarked the Celebrity Death Pool 2005 thread and click on it when I’m at home. When I’m on a public computer – or, as is currently the case, housesitting for Long Time First Time – I go to the SDMB home page, then to the list of forums, where I generally select MPSIMS or Cafe Society unless the latest post in another forum intrigues me so much that I have to check it out.
From an official member of the Unofficial Welcoming Committee, welcome!
*or maybe even before paying – either way, you should pony up (or goat up) the dough ASAP! Which reminds me, I still have to renew my subscription…
Yes indeed, one of my favourite books.
Thanks Kytheria for the “oranges” rundown! Explains a lot.
Now I’m adapting to the world of the Dope… :eek:
Judging by the first comment, I’m not sure how qualified you are to make the second;)

Hi Sarah, I spend most of my time in the pit, but I don’t drink, and I rarely swear.
I just find it more interesting. Sure sometimes it gets heated, but even that makes it interesting. imho
There are quite a few folks like me in the Pit, those that don’t drink or swear all that much.
The Pit isn’t the only forum I like, I do read GD, it’s fascinating, but I"m not willing to do that much study and only join in when it’s a subject (few of them :D) with which I’m very familiar and have some expertise. I also like IMHO and MPSIMS.
But I’d say at least 90% is the Pit. Hope that helps.
Haha, down here, we just deep-fry 'em in butter like everything else.
Welcome, Sarah Woodruff!
Must… resist… urge… to… make… naughty… puns… 
Welcome, Sarah Woodruff and Feydeau! 
Don’t worry about things not being fun. I understand that the goat usually enjoys things (if sometimes feeling a bit stretched by the events), and as for the calamari? She has, shall we say, ‘catholic’ tastes. Especially on Easter.
[sub]Hmph. Spend a long equinoctial weekend meeting several beautiful intelligent women and away from the boards and what happens on the boards? Newbies! Well, at least Mariah got fed.[/sub]
