Hello all. I have been an avid reader of the SDMB for quite a while now, but I have just now gotten around to actually registering. I just wanted to extend a hello to all of you and see if there are any questions you might want to ask of the “new guy”. Feel free to ask me anything, trust me I won’t be offended. Well, this is going to be it for my first post, all of a sudden I feel so accomplished. 😉 DuhMan ---

Well…did you have a welcome thread? Did I miss it? If you didn’t, you better so I can welcome you personally. Duh…I didn’t have a thread when I registered here. I was _shy_. And now I wish I had. It took me a long time to feel comfortable, which is silly because all these people are soooo nice. Good move on your part. ---

I would be more apt to welcome you if you could provide any of the following: 1. Booze 2. Nekkid pictures of any of the dopers on my laminated list. 3. Hot tub filled with baby oil, myself, and any of the dopers on my laminated list. Get to work. 😃 ---

hmmm - I didn’t do a “welcome me” thread, but I figured my natural joie de vivre makes me welcome anywhere the road may take me. Oh yeah - hiya, Duh! ---
