Hello everybody. I’m new here. My “friend” Jester told me about it. He doesn’t want me here. Can you guess why? Anyway, I’ll be participating in threads of the following relevence: freedom of speech, artificial intelligence, cold war history, German literature, pagan theology, dadaism, sex, drugs, rock n roll, and anything else I feel like. I would like to say that I will have no Jedi mind tricks while I’m here, and may the wasabi be with you.

Well, if **Jester** can’t stand you that’s good enough for me! Welcome aboard.

Oh God, he actually did it. Oh well, I guess I should own up, and take full responsibility for this. SpinnieZiege is an aquaintence, who viewed the SDMB over my shoulder. So, he decided it’d be fun to join. And here he is.
I’d just like to say in advance that I accept full responsibility for his actions, so if he ends up being eeeeevil, then it’s my fault. I just hope it doesn’t hurt me in my quest for respect, friends, and wimminz on this board.
On the other hand, if he turns out to be a truly likeable, intelligent, and witty poster, than again, I accept full responsibility, and the line of well-wishers and adorers forms to the right. 🙂
But hey, I’ll be the first to say, Welcome, Spinnie, to the boards, and if you screw up, I’ll break your kneecaps! 🙂

Or I’ll be the **second** to say it.
Ouch dropzone, that hurts. ☹

Jester, I’m in the same spot, with an over-the-shoulder lurker signing up, and I agree with your claims of responsibility - if he’s evil, I don’t know him, but if he’s wonderful, I claim the credit.
Just watch out for jovius.

Hey there, SpinneZiege. How’s it going? I’ve got a few friends on the board, so I know where Jester’s coming from. Don’t do anything to embarass Jester, or I may just have to have your head sent to him on a platter. [mmmmm, tasty. j/k]

Hi SpinneZiege!
May I call you Spin? It’s a little easier to type. 😃
Over in the corner there, you’ll see the fully stocked, perpetually open MPSIMS Wet Bar. You need a drink? You’ll find it here.
Whoops–don’t whack your head of the disco ball hanging from the ceiling. And don’t tell UncleBeer or Eutychus55 we’ve got it, either. Just mention the D-word, and they go crazy.
A few words of advice:
A) Suck up to everyone, especially the women. We enjoy it. When we’re through with you, we’ll let you know (most likely with a stiletto heel through the back of your neck).
II) Offerings of chocolate/beer/beer & chocolate/beer-flavored chocolate are most appreciated. Always remember, though, that TubaDiva gets _Godiva_ chocolate. She is a bona-fide Goddess–no scraps for her.
beta) Redheads rule. With an iron fist.
quattro) Unless you are asked, _don’t tell us how big your penis is._ All the men here are amazingly hot studs with monstrous penii. Really.
e) Hi Opal!
six) The branding iron only stings for a minute.
Now, relax & have a good time! 😃

Hiya. See, I started out as “Tasha’s friend”, and now I’m my own poster. And I have about half the posts that she does. Oh well, welcome and enjoy your stay.

Welcome SpinneZiege!
So, you’re a “friend” of Jester.
Who is one of Medea’s Child’s favorite people.
Medea’s Child being one of _my_ favorite people.
I suspect this makes us:
1. related
2. mortal enemies
3. Hi, Opal
But in any event, welcome aboard!

Sorry I’m late for the welcome party.
Jester…you are worrying me. No one is supposed to know we exist, remember? You are breaking the rules of secrecy.
Sigh. But since the damage is done…nice to have you along SpinneZiege!
We still need to get a PittFest up and running.

How ironic! I was going to start a thread about whether the first amendment would cover robots using Nietze quotes as an allegory to the stife felt between the US and the Soviets before they fell! But Cthulu told me I would be better off making some wild-ass art while taking quaaludes instead… Would you drink to that? Rock on!
In any event, Welcome! Please allow me to introduce myself…

Hey, manny, give credit where credit’s due. This guy posted in MPSIMS cause I told him to, and watched him as he did it. Just thought I’d clear that up.
Do i get a cookie?

Manhattan, did you ever welcome **aha**? I hope so, or there’s no telling what kind of hissy fit he’ll have. 😉
