> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by elfje \* > \*\*won’t that hurt like hell? > On your breast? > Ouch! \*\* Well to be honest elfje, I’m hoping it won’t… after all, I’ve gone through child-birth a couple of times… I keep telling myself it won’t hurt too much and I think I DO have a high pain thresh-hold…(I hope… unless tatoos are pure hell to endure?! Can anyone enlighten me on the pain factor?)… Nah, I’ll be right! It’s going to be just a tiny little butterfly after all… _convincing self_!! ---

i think it’s supposed to be most painful where the skin is very close to the bone. Ankles, say, and wrists and such. But if you’ve gone through childbirth a few times, I’d say this will be a piece of cake for you. ---

**wendy** , I meant every word I typed and I went looking for this thread to add my welcome and my compliments, and I don’t toss out compliments I don’t mean. One word of warning about the BBQ Pit. I, too, thought I was too kind and peace-loving to go there, not to mention too easily intimidated. Now, I’m afraid, I hate to think how many of my posts appear there, and it could be the most fun forum for me. _ **Beware!!!** _ Like many a sweet, innocent before you, you, too could get sucked into the Pit of despair and find yourself BBQing trolls and miscellaneous politicians with great relish and pretty good barbecue sauce. Besides, **Fenris** does great parodies over their. Just do a search on his One Trick Pony Chowder and Marching Society threads. CJ ---

**Siege** thank you once again for the compliment. I will heed your warning with regard to the BBQ Pit… Perhaps I’ll just sit on the side-lines for a while and just watch… Trouble is, I just can’t help myself at times! I’ll take a look at those threads of Fenris’ a little later. Sorry **Spogga** that there was nothing exciting happening in here… although you obviously missed the word “BREAST” this time 'round! 😃 **elfje** I was hoping that being on the breast it wouldn’t be quite so painful. There’s certainly ample flesh to hopefully mask the pain! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Siege \* > \*\ ***wendyrules** , in addition to this thread, I’ve been seeing you in other places, and I also want to welcome a born Doper, if ever there was one. Some of the finest people in the world hang out here, and those who aren’t tend not to hang around. I hope you do. > > CJ \*\* Siege, I’ve been pondering all day your comment that I’m a “born Doper, if ever there was one”. I am just a little curious as to what exactly is a “Doper”? 😕 ---

Sorry, “Doper” is one of the things we call regulars at this message board, just as real-life get togethers have been called “Dopefests”. What I meant is you suit this message board beautifully, and that is definitely a compliment! CJ ---

Oh, OK _blush_… Thanks again! I honestly DO feel just so comfortable in this place… I’ve never felt so much “at home” in any other forum that I am/have been a member of! Actually, I’ve read about your “Dopefests” and wished that I would be able to meet some of you people! Distance and finance is the problem… why don’t y’all come over to the wonderful shores of Oz? 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-new-here-but-i-just-wanna-say-hi/214672.md?page=4)
