Spectre’s a good friend of mine.
After trying to get him to come here for a while, he saw the “there is evil in my backyard thread”, he finally registered because of all the funny answers.
Another person succumbing to the evil addiction that is the straight dope message board… He is doomed… Doomed…

Yes be afraid.
In the meantime, welcome Spectre7, wherever you are.
Hola Spectre7! Welcome to hell … er, I mean the SDMB!
Here, I’ve just baked a nice batch of oatmeal raisin bran cookies, and there’s milk in the fridge. Help yourself!
Oh, and make sure you save some crumbs for the hamsters, they’ve not been feeling their pep lately.
Doomed.
I registered one night three years ago June. To ask a question in a MPSIMS thread opened by Gatsby.
Now I have well over nine thousand posts.
Doomed.
Welcome, Spectre7.
Er, wait…
Yer doomed, I tell ya! Doomed!
