Hey, everyone. This is a thread so that you can all say hello to elsa32. She’s one of my favorite people, ever. I won’t list all of her great qualities, but let’s just say that she’s going to make a very good Doper. So welcome her, please.
Me first: Hi, elsa32!
[sub]I just hope the people here are willing to ignore that your nickname is “The Big Jerk”.[/sub]
Hi ya Big Jerk - oops, I mean elsa32! Welcome to the Dope. BTW, I liked your post on “goober chic”.
A Welcome, elsa32.
Write if you get work. 
Welcome, elsa32!!!
I hope you enjoy your stay, and I am ignoring all this talk about “The Big Jerk”…but if you want to explain, I am more than willing to listen! (I’m more than willing, I am AVID…but that is another thread, I think…) 
Hey, elsa32. Welcome aboard. Any friend of bristlesage, she of the fully-licensed-and-patented Duplex Plan, automatically starts off with twenty coolness points.
Hi elsa32! Glad you could join us. I guess we’ve never formally met, but we’ve got a good friend in common, at the least. Enjoy the boards, and don’t be stranger!

thanks for the welcome all! yes, the copyrighted duplex plan is all bristlesage and goober chicness is our common goal. and 20 coolness points! ooh, i love competitions . . . who’s ahead?
the big jerk . . . hmmmm. my philosophy being that sarcasm is a wonderful thing and stupid is a term of endearment. so when i first met bristlesage however many years ago, i was lovingly given a new nickname to match my approach. but the deal is that i’ll only call you stupid to your face if i like you since i believe that you can only make good, sarcastic fun of people when it’s the opposite of true. so if you’re just really dumb, i’ll make fun of you for something else! or i won’t bother.
banjo is an excellent word. and lipbalm is a wonderful thing. but what’s up with flywheel? and dear lord you people with thousands of posts! don’t you work?!! oh, who am i kidding - i can already tell i’m going to turn into a straight dope addict. bristlesage said the first hit was free . . .
“But the next time you beep me you better have 20G’s”?
Sorry, I know it’s poor form to quote rap artists here.
Welcome to the board. Tons of useless information here. Some of it might actually come in handy one day. Seattle eah? Our company kept trying to open offices there but people kept confusing us with your local coffee franchise SBC. GAHHH!
Be welcome and enjoy yourself while you are here.
