This thread should be the final word in the world of Mundane and Pointless. I’ve been registered for several months, but I was dormant until about a week ago. I am still brand new. Welcome me. Go ahead… do it. Also, this thread would be an excellent place for: 1. Random Rants 2. Anecdotes 3. Hi, Opal (That’s my first! Did I use it right?) 4. Funny Stuff You’ve Seen 5. Whatever you feel like. This is the Mundane and Pointless thread to end them all, right? 6. Sig ideas for MarxBoy Alright Dopers, make my thread live!! May it thrive for days on the first page.

Bite Me, Newbie. Ah, that felt good. Haven’t done that in a while. Don’t take it personally. If you can slog your way through my Welcome Wagon Thread (linked in my sig), you’ll see that’s how I welcome everyone. 😃 ---

Hi :). Now, with that outta the way, [commence random rant as suggested by the OP] I can get back to being mundane, pointless, and just otherwise dull. I mean, I spend my day looking at houses and playing minesweeper, and the greatest joy I have felt since Sunday derives from my calculator… [cease wasting time, space, and the lives of other posters] Anyway, go bite Crunchy - wouldn’t be right if I had to and you got out of it, somehow. Oh - and don’t mind me, I’m just a shadow these days. ---

Hey! Looking at houses was kinda cool. Other than it means we have to grow up and take care of ourselves even more…but it was still fun. And your calculator rocks the free world. Oh, hey newbie. I’ll probably get around to flirting with you sooner or later. Welcome to SDMB, glad to have you, have a great time! ---

Named after the Brothers or Karl? Or perhaps someone else entirely? ---

Named after Karl, but I got some of the brothers in there too. Like the once-popular French saying: Je suis une Marxiste de la sorte de Groucho. Translation: I am a marxist of the Groucho variety. Sounds kinda like me. And it’s impossible to really hijack this thread, it has no real purpose. MarxBoy ---

And just think. In no time flat your post count will be so padded you’ll be able to sleep on it at night. I’m joking of course. ---
