Well, although none of you will know me, I have been lurking for well over a year thinking there was no point in me joining as I wouldn’t have anything to offer. ☹ But now I don’t care, I’m here to annoy/talk to you all 😃 Oh, I’m still a guest at the minute but I’ll get my membership when my wages are sorted 🆒 Auf wiedersehn ---

One of the goats just fainted. Anybody know the newbie count for the last 48 hours? We need to reprogram the…_you know_…for the higher numbers. Welcome, **klintypooh!** Here be dragons. 😃 May I be the first to ask about your name? ---

Well, this is gonna make or break my stay here but… Klinty Pooh is my imaginary son/alter ego who has a fondness for cheesecakes and cups of tea among other things.He is 6 yrs old and is 6 every birthday (otherwise he’d be a 20 yr old imaginary son in years to come, and that’d just be weird eh? 😃 ) He is a loveably little rogue who can get away with anything and can seemingly get me anything from my SO (who coincidentally is the ‘mother’ and just as crazy as me 🙂 ) The name kinda came from a FF game in a roundabout way and I think that’ll do for now 🆒 So there ya go, the story behind Klinty 🙂 ---

Y’know, given the number of new posters announcing their presence here recently, I believe we ought to check into buying more goats, by the truck load, from Sam’s Club; I’ll even consent to use _my_ membership card. 😉 Welcome, **klintypooh**! ---

> [@klintypooh](#): > > What exactly do I do with the goat?? I don’t wanna look like a fool by making love to it if its only for keeping my grass short 😃 We started using goats right after we ran out of virgins. This was quite some time ago, as you can well imagine. Every time a newbie joins _something_ must be sacrificed to the mighty Cecil dare I speak his name?, and why waste a perfectly good virgin for Og’s sake? You can make love to the goat before s/he’s sacrificed if you want to, but that is a bit icky and TMI. YMMV. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it until it changes. ---

Um, **Shibb** , this is the Dope – we’re not out of virgins _per se_, we’re just out of virgins who are willing to cooperate. It was easier before someone added the calamari. ---

Welcome to the sandbox, **klintypooh** , and all the rest of the newbies I’ve not welcomed. I know nothing of goats and calamari (except as an appetizer). I have nothing else to add. ---
