**Little Lady** –

This isn’t Yahoo! They are found at [www.yahoo.com](http://www.yahoo.com) .

Having cleared that up, welcome aboard! May all your posts be useful and enlightening.

I will certainly have an enjoyable weekend – Mrs. Pluto and I are attending a long awaited concert (Leo Kottke) on the Olympic Peninsula, the culmination of a weekend away from all the grubbing little Plutinos! YAHOO! (Wait, this is where I came in!)

“But when all was said and done, the winners were Bush and Gore, one of whom will be our next president, unless – and I would not totally rule this out – the Constitution suddenly is discovered to be missing, and it mysteriously turns up a few days later in the White House living quarters, and, lo and behold, the part that limits the president to two terms is GONE.”

Be forewarned. There are several torrid love affairs occuring on this board at all times. Find yourself someone and partner off.

Also, Satan is a big part of all of our SDMB related lives.

Yeah, yeah yeah. Very nice.

But what kind of party is it without beer, chips, salsa, or tequila?

Hmmm? 😉

You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing.

Aw fercryinoutloud. Doesn’t anybody read the FAQ anymore? First, the other newsters didn’t bring the damn bagels this morning and second, there’s no beer either. What the hell is the SDMB coming to? This place sucks.

Are you really a Mary Kay beauty consultant? If so, do you drive a pink cadillac? Do we get discounts on blush and eyeliner?

I want to feel pretty!

Well I brought the beer (Sam Adams if anyone is keeping track). As for the bagels, I heard they were part of the newbie-welcome-to-the-board fun basket provided by all 2500+ posters.

I’ll take cream cheese, but you can skip the lox.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!

Yes, I really am a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. Check me out at [www.mymk.com/ccline2.](http://www.mymk.com/ccline2.) It is free shipping on all products if you decide to get anything. I’ll have to think about the discount part. 🙂

I don’t drive the Pink Cadillac, yet. One day though.

HI.  
Welcome.

Bagels? keep your bagel.  
I got dibs on the Jelly filled Donuts!!

Welcome Aboard Little Lady…(why does that make me sound like John Wayne?)

I post nothing of relevance and cannot even begin the touch the brilliance of Satan, Cheif, Uke,UncaBeer, Cristi, Wally,Mullinator,SwimmingRiddles and a whole bunch of others that I’ve forgotten right now do to a major sugar rush that I so richly deserve after pilfering the jelly bean supplies.

Anyways,
