Well, I guess you can join in the game. Once I get my questions conjured (I’ll try to do it this weekend), you can try to answer them, too.
Well, dodgy, I’ll take that to be a yes. Das ist gut! Bitte, bringen Sie mir eine neubie. (How’s that? Sorry, I don’t know a whole lot of German)
Once all the adoption paperwork is official with Straight Dope Social Services, I’ll begin your initiation. I must think of something good…
Well, I guess better late then never is good. I need to be adopted, I wanted to ask lurkernomore but he states he is not a regular so cant ask him**(pouts and cries)**
So, I guess I will ask my good and bestest friend PB**(rats really wanted a male)** to adopted me, unless anyone else would like to be so kind. 
Ahem I suppose second choice is better than none. I’ll be happy to adopt you. Now I just have to figure out what that means… Just don’t call me Mom, ok? I’d have to really hurt you then. Like…oh, say, put a little too much Vick’s on your friend? wicked grin
Why would I call you mom, I have one of them.
And you would never be so cruel to my friends like that. you wicked lady.
I know that, and a very nice lady she is too.
Who? ME? No, not me. I’m a perfect angel. Yep, all sweet and innocent. Wouldn’t hurt a fly.
You don’t believe me? :eek: Have I ever lied to you before? Wait, don’t answer that. 
As to the rest of this, I’m still thinking. <I know, I know, stop the wisecracks already.>
Purplebear: Who is Wulfy? Would that be a poster who was here during my absence? Just curious, because anytime I see your sig it catches my eye since the name is so similar to my own.
I ** SO ** want to see this one....and falls to the floor at the feet of his Sovereign Lady. Struggles to one knee, pulls out tattered parchment ::
Milady, your champion salutes you, having returned from the far-ranging and perilous quest Your Benevolent Highness, in her infinite wisdom, charged him with long weeks ago.
[sub]Ooog, WHY do I insist on speaking like this, first thing on a Monday morning? [/sub]
Ahem…
Lessee… (pulls off armored shoe, having run out of fingers) …um, a bunch?
[sub]Actually, crocheting in general.[/sub]
…because I’m a doofus.
Tygr, I emailed you a while ago with the answers to the two questions you had originally missed. That is, I emailed them before checking here, to see if you’d found them on your own.
I am humbled. Please forgive your Mistress her error.
Now, the hobby question, I figured that you’d find that one out. But the kid question, well, I am impressed.. While the actual number of children is three, you managed to find the paragraph in which I list all the kids in my life, not just the ones I’m biologically related to. That, dear Tygr, is nothing short of amazing. [sub]Or terrifying. You don’t have my social security number, do you?[/sub]
Tygr, I hereby promote you from the ranks of Clueless Newbie to the ranks of Still A Newbie, But Damn, He’s Good!
Now I’m off to the Mistletoe thread. I posted a request to you there…gotta see if I can promote you from “Good” to “Oh My!”
I want to be adopted by some one, everyone needs a little guidence, especially around here, which I have deemed the depths of hell. And if being here is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
Damn, damn, DAMN! Had y’all let this thread die, I wouldn’t have had to do my tasks! DAMN!
CircusPhreak, this isn’t hell. This is MPSIMS. Hell is the Pit. <— Over there. It’s kinda like MPSIMS, 'cept they get to use bad language and call each other “doodyheads” & stuff.
You aren’t getting off that lucky, Nymysys.
<sigh> Yes, sir. On my way, sir. Newbie-with-as-many-posts-as-you reporting for duty, sir.
It was a beautiful post. It was witty, and just chock-full of links and appropriate smilies (and a small explanation of where I’ve been) PLUS the complete list of answers.
I went to check on one more thing, and It happened.
The fscking connection, our only pipe to the Wide Warm South, died.
And of course, since I tend to post from work, it still wasn’t fixed by the time I had to go home. And since this is Monday, of course I forgot my list of answers at work.
However, since this is not a pity party, and some sort of extraordinary effort (aside from the research - d’ya have ANY idea how much you guys talk about books?) is definitely required of this rite, I will be back in a couple hours.
With said list, found (except for handy’s post count) solely WITHOUT the cheat aids available in this thread.
I’ll forgive ya Tisi, you have done excellent work so far.
{{{Tisi}}}} for your friend.
Keith
Well, I did point that out, but I suppose I can back off a bit on your to-do list. You still have to write the poem, but the translations are unnecessary. And you still have to watch the film (it’s just so damn good). Other than that, you can continue to slack off as usual.
Pardon me, excuse me, oops, sorry, didn’t mean to step on your foot, let me through please.
::Kat grabs intercom and presses button::
[intercom broadcast]Has anyone here seen my newbie? He’s overdue on his mission report.[/intercom broadcast]
I hope he wasn’t captured by the enemy.
Me! Me! Over here!
I need a mentor… Someone to love and cherish me and guide me through these perilous boards.
O, Mighty Regs, please be compassionate and merciful enough to help a stumbling newbie to greatness.
