Hi. My name is Bob, but my online name is Baloo. Just wanted to say “Hi!” and let everyone know I’m here. [Yes, it’s been over a year since I first posted here, but I was _busy_! Sorry I waited so long ;)] ~~Baloo ---

Welcome aboard, Bob! You gonna throw your 100th post party tomorrow, and your 200th post party the day after that? Kidding–I’ve enjoyed your posts! (So, let’s see-we got a poster with 229 posts saying hello, and a poser–I mean poster–saying “GOODBYE” with his first post?) Man, this board is confusing as hell sometimes! ---

My name is Patrick. I honestly thought Shayna’s name was actually shayna, which I find to be a really cool name. Anyway, enough butt-kissing from me. For this afternoon, at least. Perhaps we should start a thread in which everyone indicates their name, rank, serial number . . . wait, no. Name, age, location, sexual preference (only so I know which females are not interested in males), and various other bits of fun information. I’d start it, but I’s afraid I’ve already used up my “thread-starting” quota for this week. ---
