Mmm...that fresh new poster smell

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Welcome back, Nikki Tikki Tavi!

And just so everyone knows, in case there is some confusion: Nikki Tikki Tavi’s original board name was actually her screen name from back when the SDMB was on AOL. She has not been registered on this version with “Monarch29”; so, as a returning poster with a different name, she is a legitimate one.

22

Great! I’m glad all is well. Bring on the Pie!

23

I was going to, but the shepherd made me give it back.

24

Anyone who can get things going with a thread title like that is A-OK in my book - welcome **NTT **- just remember that in the SDMB Danger Room, where all n00bs must train, all we are trying to do is help you buy that extra second of time - you may need it to survive…especially if you hang out in GD or The Pit.

25

No no no no, what is this of asking for pie? You do not demand offerings, you send them to the veterans! Beer and chocolate accepted by different sectors. And the squid is not for you to eat, she wants to give you a hug!

26

[sniff]

mmmmuuuum new poster, with lemon fresh scent

27

Have some soup!

Back when I joined, the initiation ritual was much simpler; the only major prop involved was a goat. And in deference to my religion, the ritual was modified so that –

Let’s just say that the ritual was modified to meet my religious needs. And the goat had to be replaced afterwards.

So I’m sure we can modify the ritual for Nikki Tikki Tavi. We’ll need OU-kosher jello and whipped cream. And five different kinds of berries. Plus the Board-required photos of Nikki Tikki Tavi holding some kittens.

I just made some Shepherd’s Pie. With fresh ground shepherd straight from the butcher!

Uh, maybe that’s not entirely appropriate given the situation. I can make one using a tofu shepherd, though. They don’t object so much to being slaughtered for food once you get 'em good and liquored.

Don’t let PETA see you patting that octopus. They don’t take kindly to that sort of thing.

Colbert showed an octopus opening a jar and a shrimp on a treadmill. “The oceans are gearing up for something big!”

31

But, if there’s no goat to sacrifice, are we still going to dance naked at the next blue moon?

32

Well, there might be some naked dancing if enough Blue Moons get consumed.

And in deference to our new member’s inspiration, shouldn’t there be a mongoose involved in the ceremony in some fashion? Oops, guess PETA opposes the use of any animals for fashion…

33

Hey! Do you have any idea how many plastic molecules had to Die so you could have that tote bag?

I’m surprised no one on the street has sprayed it with WD-40 by now. PS- what brand of sunblock and what novel would we find in the tote bag?

34

Hello Nikki Tikki Tavi. Be welcome. Enjoy your stay! :slight_smile:

35

“And shepherd’s pie, peppered
with actual shepherd
on top…”

Find the song “A Little Priest” from Sweeney Todd. You could probably locate it on YouTube… :smiley:

36

Make up your mind—which is it?

37

I call first dibs on the chocolate!

After Mods and Admins, of course…

And pick me up some tacos while you’re out. I have taco-cravings today.

[GIR}I love the little tacos. I love them good![/GIR}

38

Now* that * I can get behind!

I suppose the sunscreen would be JASON brand, and the novel that I can’t put down this week is either The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly or The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz. Now, since we’re sunning ourselves, can you get my back?

39

No goat? Would the Great Lonk be acceptable?

Welcome (back) aboard Nikki Tikki Tavi.

Yeah, but those are kind of tough. The border collies aren’t as interested in herding tofu as they are sheep, so the tofu shepherd has to do a lot more physical work to keep those tofus under control. Makes the meat stringy.
