janis,
Ooh, goody. . .someone new to pick on. 
Happy Birthday slightly early! What a great gift.
Welcome and enjoy your stay!
Naaa, the RoboGoat MV-IX is all primed up and ready to go. No need to worry about rust – it’s self-lubricating.
(Insert “Ewwwwwww” here).
Now then, welcome janis! If you would be so kind as to stand right over there and pay no mind to the big “X” on the floor.
Here. Here’s a raincoat with a hole in it. By a “hole”, i mean that it’s pretty much just a pair of water wings. You have an appointment to see Mariah after the Robogoat has its way with you.
It’s not as bad as it sounds. You’ll walk normally in 3 to 7 weeks.
Where the hell is the goat already? You know how heavy this goat cannon is? And no small feat to drag it all the way in here.
Welcome!
Ignore all the warnings about the goat, it’s the 500-gallon vat of Jell-O that you need to worry about.
I hope you can swim.
She doesn’t have to worry about Mariah? You mean she likes having sucker marks all over her body?
We all got used to it, so will she. It’s only freaky the first time…
And here I am trying to find a way to recreate the feeling. Oh well. At least I save money on peanut butter. I don’t have to smear it all over my balls anymore.
Ok, NOW I’m scared!
Wibble
Thank og I brought this inflatable raft!
Don’t mind LOUNE, he’s good people. A bit sticky in the pants, but good people.
I thought we took care of that. We took away his pants.
The problem isn’t so much catching him so that he shows up as it is catching him to make him leave at the end of the party.
He really likes [del]fresh meat[/del] new members.
We tried to [del]escape the Initiation Complex[/del] go outside during the welcoming buffet a few times. The effects were… interesting. Ask Kythereia.
Just keep repeating, “the goat is my friend!” and you’ll get through just fine.
Welcome janis_and_c0. Glad you decided to join our motley crew. Don’t pay any attention to the goa…err…man behind the curtain and you’ll be just fine!
I heard you’re still not walking the same, LOUNE baby.
But that might be the peanut butter, huh?
Welcome. Please try the 14 k of g in a p f d soup.
C-bus represent!
You know, we really should have a Columbus dopefest one of these days…
That sounds like a plan.
(And you are named after one of my favorite literary characters of all time!)
A little bit of Dope trivia–technically, the first Dopefest was in Columbus. It was only sparsely attended–maybe six of us, most of whom no longer post here. I think it was in 1999.
