Hi **Don Draper.** Welcome to the dope. You’ll be pleased to know that I don’t have a TV, and had to look your name up on Wikipedia after\*\* Cat Whisperer\*\* tipped me off. If you’d chosen **Dexter Morgan** , however, I’d have gotten it. ---

I’ll add my welcome to **Hometownboy** ’s. Welcome **Don Draper**! And I assure you, Don, that nobody’s needed a bail bond for a Doper initiation yet. At least, not for their own initiation. Before that starts, there’s a few tests. Mainly for allergic reactions to shellfish, latex, fruits, and techno. ---
