SpinyNorma makes first post 9 years after joining SDMB

[QUOTE=SpinyNorma]
Well, technically, since I’m the one who came back, I guess I should bring the pie. Unfortunately, my car is in the shop so that could be a while.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Wow! My own thread! I haven’t felt like such a star since the days of Heckler’s Online. It’s a proud and happy day for me, in a mundane and pointless sort of way. But speaking of mundane and pointless, I’m about to have to head on to work so I’ll check back in the morning.

Holy cow, lady. I am speechless. You’ve been here ALL THIS TIME, even signed up as a CHARTER MEMBER and you haven’t posted until now? :eek:

Welcome, and again, holy cow.

I bow before SpinyNorma

What can I say? We all have talents and mine are lurking and procrastination. It’s like being the least effective stalker ever. Thanks again for the big welcome. This has been really cool.

LET’S ALL SCREAM A HUGE WELCOME for Spiny Norma !!!
Wow—After 9 years keeping us waiting, we get 4 quick answers in this thread, and each one is a gem.
welcome aboard, Spiny. We didn’t know what we were missing…

(but may I point out that we have not yet seen any kitty pics…And if you don’t have a kitty, please get one, quick. )
[/QUOTE]

Aw shucks. I’m blushing like a…big ol blushing thing. (Sorry, some gems are just cubic zirconia.)

But for the record, I have two cats–Bubba the Wonder Doof and Boo Radley. I don’t know how to post pics though.

Is the squid necessary for first time posters?

Careful! I’ve learned from experience that squids and hedgehogs don’t mix.

(Don’t ask.)
p.s. Welcome SpinyNorma! You will fit in here just fine, yes indeed.

This is absolutely amazing! Nine years. And SpinyNorma gets a welcome thread after nine years. That’s gotta be a new record.

I’m just wondering if you-know-who will make an appearance…

This delurk-welcome deserves a special goat – used as a zevach todah, a sacrificial offering of giving thanks, followed by a festive meal of roast goat. Hopefully the pie is non-dairy.

Glad to have you join the land of the posting, SpinyNorma!

What do you mean, the least effective stalker? Hell you have been stalking all of us for years, and we never had a clue. Pretty damn effective if you ask me.

Once again welcome!

0.00 posts per day. Nine years.

That’s awesome.

Yes it is.
While I am technically a lurker (by the standards in the linked thread) I’ll never match the lurkerness of SpinyNorma. This grasshopper has a long, long way to go. :smiley:

You make an excellent point there. I will now stop blushing and move on to strutting and being downright uppity as I wait for the restraining orders to come pouring in.

Since I’ve now moved on to being uppity, I must insist that this be a new goat and not one that’s been…used. That means you’d best not try to sneak in any of Hal’s sheep disguised as goats. (Was that uppity enough?)

At least the squid’s not used.

So far anyway…

You are getting mentioned everywhere

I’m wondering how the hell you remembered your password after nine years!

Boo Radley seems to be an appropriate name for the cat of a poster who delurks after nine years.

Now up at 16 posts. There is no stopping this woman.
Somebody needs to write an add on for Firefox like the Abe Vigoda one that gives us a current count of SpinyNorma’s posts.

Sign me up for the SpinyNorma fan club. It takes a special kind of cool to get noticed around here for not posting!

Prediction: one year from now, she’ll be closing in on 8,000 posts and nobody will be able to shut her the hell up. :smiley:

Wow, I’ve spread to other threads! And I’m going international too. I’m like the Straight Dope version of bird flu. :smiley:
