Introductions are all the rage these days. I didn’t do it when I signed up; I just started with a General Question (that Cecil had already addressed :smack: ). I’m sure lots of people have not introduced themselves. And I’m pretty sure the '99-ers are ancient wise beings who have been around for thousands of years, so they would not have needed to introduce themselves here. Anyway, if necessary post your retroactive introductions here. Here’s mine: Hello, here I am. I wish to avoid the goat, llama, calamari, etc., seeing as how I’ve gone all this time without them. In fact, I don’t know if they were even required back when I signed up. But if needed, I will submit a Goat Exemption Request form, along with pie. ---

I don’t believe I ever introduced myself. But I’ve received plenty of hot (and occasionally ice-blue-jelly-) _capra hircus_ action over the years. ---

Hi, I’m **GrunyanBuddicks** , but my real name is Cranberry J. Entwhistle. I’m an nine-year-old block of headcheese that was encased in lucite as part of a grade 7 science fair project back in 1995. I developed self awareness 2 years ago this January, but just lurked for a year or so before ponying up when the boards went pay. My hobbies include trading penny stocks, experimenting with phenethylamine variants, and carving biblical figures from spam. ---

I don’t believe I ever introduced myself either…I just started posting in purple to the horror of everyone here, and made myself known as “NOT THE GRAPIST!!!” I lurk on here quite a bit. You people fascinate me. Like the one that runs nekkid through every intro thread. I myself am a Crazy Person, and I like that. 21 years old, female, have a two-year-old son, and no social life to speak of. Single, and sorta kinda not really looking. ---

I for one welcome our new dopers. I’ve been here for years, mostly lurking. Today I was briefly puzzled by the headline _Dutch watch Van Gogh’s last film_.😕 Please tell me I’m not the only one. Male, 30 and goatless. ---

I’ve never introduced myself either… although I really haven’t posted much to begin with 🙂 22, female… office slave, living with my boyfriend in st. louis.
