Man, oh man. I didn’t even get that until I saw **lieu** ’s post. :smack:

Welcome **Litoris**!

I’m new here too. I’m more surprised and amazed every day about how cool it is to be here. I hope you like it too.

Funny, I hear that alot :dubious: what _exactly_ does it mean?

Seriously, though, I know all the pre-and post-pubescent joys of my chosen name. I might even be inclined to admit (for a small sum of money or at least flattery) that I chose the name for that very reason. It suits me. Female, but missing something (my husband calls that something a heart, even though – true story – I did point out during a recent EKG that I do in fact have a heart. He just pointed out that “yeh, but it looks all black and creepy”). Oh, but I digress.

Again, thanks for such a wonderful welcome. I enjoyed the goats, they were delicious in a creamy lemon artichoke sauce with baby greens and brie pot de creme.  
What?

Who are your favorite fantasy writers? I’m partial to a little Raymond Feist and R.A. Salvatore, myself.

Ok, working backwards…

Long list, but just to name a few: C H Cherryh, Piers Anthony, Alan Dean Foster, and Robert Aspirin. I alos like a bunch of writers who may have had 1 or 2 books published – but heaven knows I don’t remember their names. I tend to pick books up, read them and forget who wrote them 10 seconds after finishing them.

Of course I realise where they’ve been – where do you think I got the _creamy_ sauce? Don’t worry, I can give them back if need be…maybe not in the _same_ condition, though. You may lose that deposit. That’ll learn ya for _renting_ goats when Litoris is around!

By the by – if anyone was interested, the Red Hot Chili Peppers put on a great show Wednesday. They have come a loooooooooong way from the last time I saw them (in 1988) and truth be told, I was actually impressed by Gnarls Barkley.  
Sometimes, I have been known to refer to my husband as Crotum, since he’s just a little nuts…
