Well, it’s either okay, or you’re about to get your first modding from our new mod.
< wondering how you wrap a water chestnut with a shrimp… >
Sounds kinda yum, though.
Bacon. Bacon is the duct tape of hor d’oeuvres.
…Wow, it’s weird how brains work. I thought for sure I was typing “bacon”, there.
LOL, that’s perfect! It is!
I think you’ve invented a new snackie! I’m going to try it. I’ll call it ParallelLines de Mer aux, uh, what is a water chestnut, anyway? I mean, I know what one is. But is it a vegetable? A fruit? A seed?
Being a Doper, of course I looked it up. Further discussion can be had in a new thread, if anyone is interested.
@ParallelLines you have my sympathies. Er, I mean, congrats! Yeah, that’s what I meant.
And remember, the newest mod has to clean the hamster cages. And take care of the squid. (You didn’t read the fine print at the bottom of your contract, did you?)
Seriously though, welcome.
I look forward to ParalelLines wise, fair, sensitive, even-handed approach to carrying out this awesome responsibility.
Is that enough sucking up? I can do more.
By all means. It’s exciting to witness a person try to turn their own head inside out.
I am so stealing this. 
As for the sucking up, we’ve moved past the sucking up part of the party into the eating and drinking too much stage. Possibly with slightly overripe shrimp threatening to repeat on us due to my earlier delay.
Did I hear drinking too much? Well, I’m raising a glass to you.
I wish ParallelLines every success.
But this might be more appropriate:
“What did you expect? ‘Welcome, Sonny?’ ‘Make yourself at home?’ ‘Marry my daughter?’ You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know—morons.”
(Blazing Saddles)
I was wondering if that title was pre-mod or not. And now I know.
Congratulations! And thank you.
Welcome aboard to the madness, Parallel Lines!
Do ignore the goat; please do not ignore the squid! Things get … Messy when that happens.
Crevettes et châtaignes d’eau à l’Aspenglow
You come up with it, you get your name on it. 
Plus, it rhymes!
Dolphin testicles.
No, I’m just kidding.
Thankfully I’m part of a multi-snake household, who know it was pre-OTJ training!
Many government officials seem to have recently acquired fasciolopsiasis. Who knew it was the chestnuts?
Just dropping in to wish smooth sailing to an excellent new mod.
Oh, hey. Cool! Saw you messing with the banning thread and had to do a double take with the yellow mod stuff. At first I thought you were just being silly.
It sounds like everyone’s pretty happy and I can’t say I disagree. Go get 'em.
Never rule it out, but I’m going to try NOT to do silly MOD stuff at least. Thanks for the good wishes both from you and @Ellecram.
