Welcome to our world. Post early and often, it’s generally for the best. Oh, and wait with hope for the day the first thread that you start in some other forum ends up in the Pit. That’s the day that you truly become one of us.
And I never say hide nor hair of this goat and I’ve been around for awhile. Four years, in fact. I’m very disappointed that I missed my proper welcoming.
For a time, there was a tradition of… welcoming… new members with rituals^Wceremonies involving calamari, goats, Genetically-Engineered Improbabilities, etc. This seems to have died out [sub]I hope twitch[/sub] but I think there are still some people nostalgic for it.
oh boy - are we supposed to post threads when we join? I didn’t so i’m just gonna pretend that my days of lurkdom is the equivalent of being a real member and say
Hi Bismillah! - wanna room together? I’m new too and i figure it will make the bills cheaper. Whaddaya say?
Well, it was Hal and his love of sheep that somehow attracted me to this fine corner of the web. I don’t remember what it was I was reading or searching for, but I ended up at SDMB - and saw Hal’s message about loving sheep. For some unknown reason, I just had to read that thread. I’ve been here ever since.
