My good friend _Muffins are Evil_. I’ve told him a bit about you folks and the MB, and I’m certain he has at least ONE question for the great Cecil, or at least the Teeming Millions. I’ve already directed him towards GQ for that one as I am curious about the answer now myself. 😉 Muffins is a guy for all you out there who have trouble figuring out what someones gender is. We may as well get that straightened out before any mistakes are made. That said let us start with the ritual beat… uhm… initiation! Yes initiation to our group. Be kind at least as he is a nice guy. 🙂 ---

What? I’m confused for a female? ACK! That… isn’t right… -=sniff.=- Now I know… bleh bleh… but still. I -am- a man. And, as long as you all don’t hurt me when I’m initiated, I’m allright. ---

Welcome, **MaE**. Hmmmm, that _does_ sound like a girly name. I see you blew your first post on an Austin Powers movie defense. Ah well, our deflowering can’t all be romantical-like with fireworks going off. Enjoy your stay, and please don’t feed the 1920s-style “Death Rays”. ---
