I’m new here - just now joined - and I’m ready to start “doping”. I’d like to get to know others and start and/or join a “conversation”. But, I’m not exactly a rude person so, I wouldn’t want to jump in anything already going on. So, introduce yourself please. Then I would feel a little more comfortable replying to messages. Thanks. 😉 ---

Well, I’m Elenia28. Dunno what you want us to introduce ourselves with, but I mostly hang out between MPSIMS, Cafe Society, and IMHO in that order. Occasionally I’ll wander up to GQ or GD, and a little more frequently I visit the Pit. But mostly you’ll see me hanging around MPSIMS. My job is serious enough, ya know? Nice to meet you and welcome to the boards. Where’s \*\*iampunha \*\* to run nekked through the thread? ---

Hello! Welcome! (Wow, am I the first welcomer? We’ll see on preview.\*) You have now been assimilated. First 30 days are free, then you start to pay, and pay and pay. Hey, where’s the goat? \*And, on preview, no. Darn you **Elenia28**! 😉 ---

Thanks for the welcome from Elenia28 and WhyNot. What’s that about a goat? I’m so upset I didn’t get a goat. I want a goat. So, what is a goat? 😃 Oops, yes I’m still a guest. Just trying it out first to see if I like this. But, I’m having a lot of fun in these first few minutes. So, things are looking positive. ---

What goat? No one mentioned a goat. You must be hallucinating. It’s all the Dope. 😃 _runs away_ ---

I thought something was a little fuzzy. I will definitely have to take it easy with the dope. “These things do happen from time to time in a small town” ---

I, for one, welcome our goatnazi overlords. 1920’s Style Death Goats! A goat explored the Marianas Trench in 1960 … for 20 minutes. All these goats and many more can be yours for the low, low cost of $14.95. But until then … these are not the goats you’re looking for _waves hand_ Pay no attention to me really, I’m sure I got all that wrong. I’ve been here a year and a half and I still have no idea what’s going on and no one knows who I am. Maybe that’s because I never made a “Hey I’m new here! Love me and stuff!” thread. Or because I changed my name. Or because I’m just boring. _sigh_ No one loves me and stuff. _wanders off_ ---

Welcome, **For The Children**. All these rumours of ‘goats’ are complete fabrications. And the calamari is just a figment of our imaginations. As is the Thing Downstairs. [sub] **twickster** , he _wants_ a goat? Have we ever encopuntered that before? And are the party (well, “ritual”) streamers all set?[/sub] And… - :: kuras tra sxnureto senvestajxe Esperante :: \* ( :: runs nekkid through thread in Esperanto :: ) baaaaaa ---

My apologies, **For The Children**. I’ll have to remember to use my gender-nonspecific third-person pronouns from now on. That way, when anyone asks me something, I’ll be able to respond to _em_ without error. Ey, eir, em, emself. Couldn’t be simpler. And don’t worry about the ritual. It’s completely harmless. The sucker marks disappear within a few hours. [sub]Oh? I shouldn’t have mentioned that[/sub]. miaou ---

ah no worries. About the gender roles that is. Just letting folks know I was female. 😛 But about those suction marks… :dubious: Ouch, that might leave a mark ---
