Hello all, I’ve decided to give up lurking and join the fun. I’ve had my member name for a few years, I think I even posted once or twice, but tonight I finally remembered my password and paid my money. I’m looking forward to participating, except for the Pit - that place scares me!
So, you’re the one who’s been skulking in the shrubbery, peeking in the windows! :eek: Come in from the cold. Grab a comfy chair. Put your feet up.
PS - I like your username!
No, no, no, the Pit is a nice place. Full of sunshine and chocolate! We won’t hurt you!
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for the welcome. And wouldn’t you know I’d have a typo in my first post! I really do know how to spell…
Welcome, CalvinHobbes!
You’ve lurked here long enough, so you’re probably aware of the major hazards, the tools to deal with them, the proper safety gear, the use of the salad tongs, etc. There is little more to add, except: have fun! 
[sub]Incoming! Switch to Auxiliary Plan G! [/sub]
Arrives, dragging goat
Here’s your shower cap – you really thought the March '03 date would exempt you from our … attentions?
Welcome!
I guess I was hoping…
Okay, I’m ready!
Oh, no. No-one is ever …ready.

HALT!
The Goat is insufficient!
The stars are in their proper aliginment!
Thus…we must use…the Rote-O-Rooter Machine!
So do we use it by rote this time, or what?
I’m afraid to ask, but what is the Rote-O-Rooter machine? Will it hurt? Do I still need the shower cap?
The shower cap will certainly work, but it’s sort of …in the wrong place.
And the use of Canola Oil is strongly recommended.
I suggest going to your local Buyers Club, & picking up a 50 gallon drum.
Don’t you worry – luckily, a Rote-O-Rooter isn’t the same thing as a Roto-Rooter. Not at all. Two completely different gadgets. Couldn’t possibly be any more different.
Here, have some Jell-O. It’s lime.
Considering the username I think we should use hamsters for the initiation…
… uhh, what do you mean, where does it go? we whisper whisper :eek:
Welcome, CalvinHobbes!
The hamsters are on the way. Say… would you mind bending over and picking up that quarter over there?
Uh, would it matter at all if I brought pie?
Depends. What kind of pie?
Well chocolate of course!
Wrong answer. It should be Sugar-Coated Frosted Bombs pie!
Welcome, CalvinHobbes!
Love your name.
