I thought I was a newbie, but Noooo!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Last night I decided to leave lurkerdom and finally join the Straight Dope. I entered my e-mail addy, and all the other info, and clicked sumbit. I don’t remember what the message that popped up said, but basically the addy had already subscribed to the Dope.

My reaction was :confused: , I don’t remember joining, and i certainly don’t remember starting a thread. Apparently I was googling Mojo, tried to comment on it, and goofed it up.

Since I never gooof things up :smiley: I don’t know what was wrong with my 'puter.

Anyway, here I am whether you guys are ready or not!

                                               Sneezy

Sounds like a glitch in the server–looks like you made it through all right :wink: Welcome aboard! snogs

Now, are you ready for… the initiation?

3

Initiation? I don’t need no steenkin’ initiation! Besides, I like goats. Barbecued goats, that is. Mmmmm…cabrito. Calamari, not so much.

Kytheria, there is no way I can keeo up with your post count! You go girl!

                                                       Sneezy

Awwww, in’nt that cute…he thinks he’s got a choice in the matter!

<tackles sneezy, trusses 'em up, sets RGmVI to “PowerFelch” mode>

5

Hal honey, hates to break it to ya, but I’m female! As for RGmVI, BRING IT ON! It is no match for my West Texas Nucular Cattle Prod!

6

Uh oh, Hal. Look at sneezy5660’s join date vs. yours. Since his join date is earlier, doesn’t the RGmVI’s auto-initialization software seek the newest member present?

If I was you, I’d run.

7

That…ain’t…the end…that the squid is…involved with, sneezy.
:eek:

8

Bosda, did you ever see a really bad movie called, Grim Prarie Tales? One of the episodes involved a woman who, if someone had sex with her, she ate him! From that end! Just sayin is all.

9

I’m sorry, I just had to laugh at “PowerFelch”! Someone please take that as a doper name.

10

Repeat after me: Quality over quantity. Post counts aren’t really a big deal to most people.

11

Yes, you might say Kyth’s post count dwarfs sneezy’s…

However, when RoboGoat Mark VI’s newest vict … er, associate … reaches post #5660, her screen name will include her post count! None of us all-alpha, no-numeric members can say that about ourselves…

Welcome, sneezy5660!

12

Dang Sternvogel, appararently I need more sleep, because I had to read your message twice before I got the dwarf joke! I think I’m getting a cold, and the only way I can sleep is sitting up in the recliner.

Actually I didn’t pick the name for the dwarf, I have bad allergies, and I sneeze all the time! Usually 10-12 times in a row! Think I’ll head for the recliner now. Night!

I’m back.

There’s some pretty weird stuff going on downstairs. Daithi Lacha went through a door nad hasn’t come back yet.

So… um… how’s the squid?

15

Oh, and welcome, sneezy5660. Enjoy your stay. :slight_smile:

wheels in the trebuchet, hands sneezy a shower cap

Welcome!

17

You forgot the 55 Gallon drum of Canola Oil…

18

:smack:

19

I got the canola oil, I knew we had left it in PA the last time we did an initiation.

20

Hi all, I’m finally back. My pesky “real life” interfered, and I had errands to run. I had to ride the bus to do them, so it took a little longer.

Shower caps, canola oil, and trebuchets? I don’t recall this in the membership agreement. I think since I really joined in 2003, I shouldn’t get an initiation. isn’t there a statute of limitations on these things? I believe so!

Mariah the squid should be allright as long as she doesn’t start singing! :smiley:
