Thank you… (teary eyed) you’ve all been so kind, and my pathetic attention seeking worked. I love you guys, (breaks down Gwyneth Paltrow Oscar acceptance speech style)

I sincerely promise to be nice to all fellow and future newbies and welcome them all.  
Unless they troll… (evil chuckle, cocks gun)  
MOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Ops. Now firmly in control of the alter ego. Must never let it break through again. AGGGGGGGGHHHHhhhhhhhhhh. Stop it. Stop it. Noooooooooooooo.

```
 MOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

```

I’ll just go take my medication.

Welcome,\*\* White Lightning\*\*. I am myself a recently delurked member of this wonderous place we like to call…awe hell, it’s too early for grand speeches.

BTW, White Lightning is also a great song from Def Leppard (my favorite band) so now I’ve got something to hum as I walk around my soon to be former place of employment.

See you around.

Yay White Lightning! In case anybody hasn’t told you yet, I’m the most important, well-loved, and witty poster on this board. Really! (Hey, guys, stop laughing, I’m serious!)

Welcome to another SDMB addict in the making!

White Lightning. Cool name. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Have fun.

Please notice the emergency exits at the front and rear of the message board. Your floatational device is located just above your head, and fits around your neck, inflating when you pull the white cord. Please keep your seatbelt on and your seat in an upright position until you have reached your 100th post. If you need any assistance, please push the call button to your left and see ATMB. Your moderators will keep you notified of any changes in your journey.  
I’m struuter, I’ll be your official strumpet for this flight. Thank you.  
😉

**Damn!** \* I\* didn’t get an official strumpet!
