Yep. He did. He jumped through my hoops, followed my directions, demonstrated his ability to research the board, list mundane and pointless information, act in a compassionate nature and flirt gratuitously. He did all of it beautifully. And now, Ogre…I get to explain your ninth and tenth labor. Nine–you’ve done already. You’ve started a thread that’s made it over three pages. (I haven’t done that. Bravo.) And the final labor? Just post here. But you’d better post quickly…my threads fall fast and hard. 🙂 So, I offer my heartiest congratulations on a job well done. {{{smooch}}} ---

Well, I’ll help good ol’ Ogre out in his quest, by keeping this thread at the top, in plain sight. Just remember, Ogre, that if you let my pal struuter down, you’re gonna get arrested. Again. 😃 ---

My oh my. Look at that, will ya? _shakes head slowly_ Aren’t you just the cutest thing? And look at that HAIR! Is it naturally curly? Oh Jester…you are, I do think, probably the best and sweetest guy around here. And to clarify, I am just mentoring Ogre–providing him with his initiation into Doperhood. My virtual date was just a part of that. I hope that doesn’t tarnish your vision of helping out though. So…come over here you. And bring that lolly with you. 😉 ---

Hey, what does a guy need to do to get some attention from struuter? She is by far the best flirter on these boards. And the best looking too. And the best dancer, and the best smelling, and the one most deserving of praise, and diamonds, and , and :: looks around, sees it’s not working damn ---

Many humble apologies, friends. I took half the day off, but now I am back among the Dopers (that’s Straight Dopers…not you, **oldscratch.** :)). Thank you for playing along with my silly idea, **struuter**. You’ve mentored me with grace, wit, and a damn large dose of patience. I was amazed that you actually researched me before we started on this grand adventure. Your use of my favorite words (from a long-defunct thread) truly, truly impressed me. I’m gratified that I have made at least one good friend here on the SDMB (I’m not being too presumputous, am I?). I’m also gratified that the Newbie Rites thread has done so well. For all you Newbies out there waiting to be adopted, I think the idea may have been milked as far as it’s gonna go. Don’t get discouraged if nobody adopts you. Get out there and post. **Don’t leave the SDMB!** We need lots of good posters. Most of the folks around here are very willing to hear what a new person would like to say. **struuter** , thank you again. I’d flirt with you anytime, sweetie, and mean it. I can see why you’re the Patron Saint of Kind-Hearted Words. ---
