Lurked for a while, guested for a while, today I join. Hi. I just spent $14.95 for the priviledge of conversing with all of you. Hope you’re worth it. 😉 Jack. ---

I think it is fair to say most of the people on this board are certainly worth under $15.00. Welcome. You will be getting your SDMB initiation/hazing package via email soon. Be sure that nude photo you have to have taken of yourself walking through the mall is in .jpg format. ---

Umm… $14.95 was just for posting privileges. Having a _good_ conversation is extra. Might as well relax and make yourself comfortable. The welcoming committee will be along any moment. Please get undressed, put on that hospital gown and hop up on the examination table. …It really will be best if you can remain relaxed. ---

YOW! How did you get more post than me already (asides from the fact that I mainly lurk, and I only paid the fifteen bucks a few weeks back). Either way, welcome aboard. ---

[Over in ABTMB,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=321201) I’ve been bemoaning the loss of the incoherent lunatics that used to grace our Board fairly often. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to step up to the plate for our amusement? Surely you at least have a crackpot theory or two? Looking forward to getting to know you. ---
