**Ro0sh** , if you would like, after you answer the 3 statements you are behind on, you may post your own. 😉

I have gotten drunk. Here’s your Toothpicky. Damn.  
I have never broken a Bone though. Keeps that 'un.  
I’ve been to a sporting event. Not by my own free will though- I was 5, and it was a Pirates game. Wait. I did also go to a Minor Leagues Tides Game this year. Never mind, you get a toothpick.

I have never Paid the Doper Registration Fee\* for these boards.

😃 Fork 'em over, Charter Members!  
Edited to clarify \*Or whatever you call those annual fees- Not just the “first” one. But ANY of 'em.

**Gives Ro0sh a toothpick.**

I paid when I signed up last year. I’m due to renew next month, but I don’t know if I will pay again or just become a guest.

I’m sorry, but I have to question this. Not only are you listed as a “Member” and have a location field visible on your posts, but you have also posted continually since May, which is well after your initial free 30 days in March to April (you registered in March) and well before posting became free in early September. Are you sure you didn’t pay and then forget about it? You should be able to check in your User Control Panel under “Paid Subscriptions” (I think [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/payments.php) is a direct link).

Assuming the question is still valid…

Maybe someone ponied up his fee for him.

Rooshie old boy is a charity case, who’s membership was paid by a consortium of the Mafia addicted.

**And he gets my damn toothpick.**

I am also a fallen Charter Member. Once a year I get rip-roaring drunk and send some mods a forlorn email wondering if there is any way I can recover my lost label.

I’m kidding…at least about the drinking part. 😉

He gets free membership _and_ **a bunch of toothpicks**? Now that’s just unfair :(.

**Here’s another toothpick for you Ro0sh**.

I’ll update the counts when I get back to work tomorrow. For Round Two, we will relenquish 2 toothpicks, Round Three will be 3 toothpicks…and so forth. I just wanted everyone to be able to “I never” at least once or twice.

Along the same lines.

I have never joined an internet forum using any of the following names: Hockey Monkey, tfn, erleichda, Justin Credible, MsWhatsit, …

Feel free to use this one.

Up the Arsenal! Uh, I mean, \*\*have a toothpick for sporting events. \*\*

And while my current subscription is due to Doper generosity, my one before it was not. **So another toothpick to give out.**

I have to leave unexpectedly and may not be back online until tomorrow or the next day, so I’ll go ahead and post mine now.

I’ve never personally used Miracle Whip in anything I’ve ever prepared to eat.

Not a sandwich. Not a casserole. Nada. I know how vile it tastes only because other people have prepared food on my behalf with it, but I pretty much cannot even bring myself to even touch the stuff.
