Ok, ok, corny Thread title, but I just got home from work and am trying to run do about 30 million other things, so I don’t have time to think of the good ones! 
Joining us today, after hearing me talk incessantly about all the goof balls… I mean, wonderful people 
here, is StarShine! She’s a long time Ozzie friend/fic-a-holic. So, pop in and say hi, make her feel welcome! The open bar is to your left, the buffet table over there, and if you go through those doors back there, you’ll find Twister already set up and ready for players. Arden, dear, do you happen to have the jello pit handy? I don’t think we’ve been using it over at the Academy… unless I’ve missed something.
So everyone, please, make her feel as welcome as you do me!
Now it’s back to packing for me…
Why, of course dear. The pit for jello wrestling is set up right over there, across from the bar. Regulation g-strings can be found on the table to the right and today’s jello flavor is cherry. To left you’ll find all the extras for playing in the jello with: cans of whipped cream, jars of cherries and all manner of other dessert toppings.
Welcome StarShine!
Hi-de-ho!
(And since it’s evening, I’ll avoid the expected “Good morning…”)
Hm, Twister. Sounds good.
Oooh, peel-n-eat shrimp! (Very nice!)
And a white wine, please.
And what are YOU packing forTP? Did I miss a memo?
Any friend of TruePisces’ is a friend of mine. welcome!
Unless you’re already a friend of mine. In any case
it’s good to have another Doper.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m all flirted out.
::Scralden collapses in one of TP’s ubiquitous
over-stuffed chairs with an India Pale Ale, and
promptly falls asleep for the next couple hours::
psst… **screech-owl[/sub]. She’s moving to NY to be near her sweetie.
:trying on a regulation g-string:
This doesn’t seem to fit very well, got anything, well, roomier?
Welcome to StarShine especially if Ozzie means the guy who eats bats. Now that I think about it, the other kind is DARNED welcome, too! Love ya, either way!
[sub]UncleBill solemly swears not to flirt with StarShine for at least three days. OK, maybe not so solemly, but I swear anyway. OK, maybe not SWEAR, but promis- well, I will TRY not to flirt with StarShine for at least three days. AAwwww! Hell![/sub]
So, StarShine, how YOU doin’?
Good morning, Starshine.
What, I was the first to say this?
Where did that girl go to? I throw a party in her honor, and she hasn’t even shown up yet… I’m going to have to go find her and drag her butt in here.
[sub]First welcome party I throw, and the guest of honor doesn’t even come in to introduce herself… see if I do these kinds of things again… :)[/sub]
screech-owl - Well, there are other reasons too, but… Um… yeah… what Arden said… blush
Scralden - You know her. She was on chatters for awhile. None of our regulars. I’ll e-mail you the details later…
She’s already naked in the bedroom with me.
Give us a minute…
slinks in Er, I appear to have the wrath of the (most gracious) hostess visited upon me. But as previously mentioned by ChiefScott, apparently I was previously… engaged. 
Can I possibly be forgiven?
Thanks, all, for the wonderful greetings - you sure know how to make a girl feel welcome!
Hi, Scralden! Yep, I was into major lurkage on chatters (in fact, I think TP was just about the only one who knew I was there…) but I occasionally popped up.
StarShine,
Welcome aboard. Good to see you again. Enjoy your time here.
[sub] Yes, you do know me - it’s Ed [/sub]
