Hey gang. I’m here to proudly introduce one of my oldest and bestest friends in the whole wide world… Zyzzyva!
Zyzzyva is the kindest, sweetest, most wonderful soul I’ve met on this internet thingie. Aww…
Just so you all know, it was Zyzz that introduced me to the SDMB. I was very, very bored at work one day, and he sent me a link to Unca Cecil’s site. I spent about a week reading every archived article and mailbag item, then… I was sucked in by the SDMB. So, you have him to thank (or revile, whichever you see fit) for my presence here. Thanks, Zyzz, I met a great bunch of people cuz of you!
Zyzzyva originally hails from Florida (and would have voted for Nader were he still there) but is currently living in San Francisco. Bay Area Dopers, beware, he’s one of those Critical Mass members!
And a further note. If anyone notices a lack of posts from me, Zyzzva and oldscratch are to blame. They are fellow co-conspirators in a plot to drag me from my home across the country to live in the Bay Area.
Enjoy your stay here, friend. And if you get out of hand I have the Hammer of Bonking ™ closeby.
dpr, I believe a zyzzyva is a type of weevil. What odd words those both are! And the spacing on it looks weird when I type it all out. So I’ll call him Zyzz.
The Hammer of Bonking ™ goes waaaay back to when Zyzz and I hung out on IO.com (yes we’re part of the Illuminati Conspiracy).
Here’s a cute tidbit. Zyzz took me to a nude beach once!
Ok well, zyzz hasn’t gotten his welcome email with his password and all that fun stuff, so he can’t post yet. But he conveys his warmest thanks for all the welcomers!
I think every Scrabble® player looked at the Official Scrabble® Player’s Dictionary, looked at the last word on the last page, and laughed their ass off.
To this day, it is the word that everyone would like to play, nobody will ever forget it, but what are the odds of having a rack that has the Z, both Y’s, a V an A and both Z’s?!? (It takes an S too!)
So, we welcome you, Zyzzyva! Even though you’d be more welcome on my rack sometime so I could play it and watch my opponent’s head explode…

Hi again folks, just apologizing again for zyzz’s absence at his own welcome wagon party! Still hasn’t gotten his email with his password, so he can’t post!
Eek zyzz, Satan wants you on his rack… that doesn’t sound very pleasant! :eek:

I believe this is the first time I’ve ever been to a party where the guest of honour didn’t show. Now, I’ve been to parties where the guest of honour didn’t socialize, but spent all their time in the bedroom with various nubile hedonists, but that’s a story for another thread.
Welcome, Zyzzyva! As another fellow newbie, I think you’re off to a great start, considering we all know who you are before you’ve even posted.
Whaddya got to do to get this kind of attention? Sheesh.
