Wow, this guy’s new here and this thread has gone on this far without anyone mentioning the initiation, the goats, and the secret handshake? What’s wrong with you people? Must I do everything?
Follow ** Sunspace ** to the conference room. Sit still and be very quiet. The initiation team…er…welcoming committee will be right over…
Now wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute here. How can the anti-christ and the christ both be your heros at the same time?
The last few years I’ve heard that George W. Bush is the antichrist. :rolleyes:
If Lucas is the antichrist, put me on the escalator going down. 
I, for one, welcome our new…
Never mind.
So, which level of hell do we wish to go to? I hear the 4th level is much more luxurious than the rest
Welcome aboard. Don’t go into Great Debates without an armload of cites, the BBQ Pit can be scary but side-splittingly funny, and get dozens of replies in Cafe Society by starting a thread about Star Trek.
George Lucas? Who’s that?
Oh, and read anything and everything by Scylla, Sampiro, Eve, and a few others I’m sure the folks will mention.
velvet, that’s the wrong goat. We need the other one. You know…the other one.
There’s a velvet goat? Keep that frisky little quadruped away from Hal.
Welcome to the boards! You must, of course, pay due homage to the proper gods and goddesses around here cough, ahem… 
(Seriously, nice to have you aboard. Enjoy your stay!)
Take **Hal **seriously about the cats. It’s for your own good really… 
Andre Dawson?
Huh?
Welcome. Have a beer. First one’s one the house.
CITE!
<small voice>you beat me to it, you beast!!</sv>
By the way, if you have a severely disfunctional family. Please read all threads by Sampiro, you will have a new appreciation for your family. Wrestling grandmothers aside…
Hello Endless Flight. Be welcome. Enjoy your stay. 
You can spell and use proper grammar. You’ll fit in juuuust fine around here.
Welcome. (Next time, bring chocolate)
Thanks for all the welcomes everyone.
The word ‘cite’ must be a keyword around here.
Welcome to the Dope, Endless Flight!
I’m a liberal Christian – open to other generally open people.
This is a good place to speak your truth if you can handle what others will say back to you and be responsible for your own feelings.
We will probably disagree politically in days to come. Just wave an olive branch when you are tired of arguing with me and we will return to a state of peace between us.

Welcome, filthy Earth pig, to the SDMB… a place where normal earth creatures post and discuss a multitude of topics. Yes… a place filled with ugly, stinky, normal earth creatures. Like me. Yes, just look at how normal I am. See? I’ll even dance to prove it!
Doo, doo, doo… dance, dance, dance…
Hmmm… I think I might be watching too much Invader Zim…
Welcome Endless Flight. You are on Holy Ground so kindly remove your shoes. But not your socks. Bare feet are icky. (It’s me, not you.)
Perhaps the biggest one. It’s often used sarcastically, but has its basis in our common requirement for evidence to back up assertions. Post a claim like “the mainstream media has turned against the Bush administration” and you’ll get asked for cites (quite rightly). Claim “my wife’s breasts are the envy of the neighborhood” and you’ll get asked for cites (and photographic evidence).
Welcome. We could use more rational conservatives around here – we just lost a couple. I like being able to talk to people on the other side of the political fence without getting drenched in (virtual) spittle.
