Introducting Dr. Conrad Shadowdale

Greetings Dopers.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Conrad Shadowdale, Dr. Conrad Shadowdale.

I am a longtime lurker, owner of five of the Master’s tomes and once a regular reader of his weekly column in our local weekly newspaper.

I am not a real doctor and do not play one on TV. In fact, my oldest daughter helped me come up with this board moniker, based on two streets in the area, Conrad Street and Shadowdale Road. I rather enjoy the sound of it. Dr. Conrad Shadowdale.

I will likely spend most of my time in the General Question and Cafe Society areas – and may actually contribute. I also enjoy much of the debate in the Great Debates area, but am much too timid (at this juncture) to crawl into that hornet’s nest.

In advance, thanks for letting me be here with you all.

Never seen an intro thread on this board before. They’re common on other boards, but I’ve never seen one here. You do know that you have to buy imported beer for all of us to continue posting here, don’t you?

I thought it was hookers and blow.

Crap—I knew I should of upgraded to Charter Member status when I had the chance. :smack:

I don’t know any other Dr’s named Conrad. Sounds harmless enough. Welcome!

:mad:

Beer, hookers and blow? And someone said this was a free site.

Greetings.

Shadowdales, you say? I’ve heard of Shadow Hills, but never Dales.

Well there’s free beer, hookers, and blow every time some new guy joins. You think GD is a hornet’s nest?!? You shouldn’t even look at the Game Room then. You’ll get used to it all after a while. I thought this place was a lunatic asylum when I was just lurking. But after conversing with these guys for a while, I realized it was more like a production of *Arsenic and Old Lace *staged by the asylum patients.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome, welcome! Are you related to Othar Tryggvassen? :slight_smile:

Please, have some ice cream. It should be [del]neutralized[/del] ready by now.

Love your name! Best I can do in my area would be St. Thomas Woodridge - that might work, but I ain’t changing my name.

Welcome to the asylum. I don’t like hookers, blow, or beer, but I will accept chocolate love offerings. :smiley:

Welcome Dr. Now that you’re here, you can never really leave.

That’s… not what I expected. :slight_smile:

A doctor, huh? Hey, can you look at this rash on my arm? Do you think it’s contagious?

Consider yourself introducted.

If you look to your right, you’ll see Wurn Snell of Colitas, rising up through the air…

As a book owner you may or may not remember me from book four. (I actually signed a copy for someone. MY FINEST HOUR!) I’m your favorite OBVIOUSLY right?

Well, the hookers, beer, ice cream and blow should have arrived at your doors by now, assuming that USPS didn’t lose them in the holiday traffic. I cannot be respobsible for their ineptitude.

That clearly looks like contact dematitis on your arm. I suggest a non-RX topical ointment.

I understand that I can never leave, but why is she calling me “Vince”? I prefer to be called “Doctor”, “Connie” or for dinner.

And, yes. Having rad your profile, you are my favorite.

Hello Dr. Conrad Shadowdale, be welcome. Enjoy your stay.
