Been reading some topics here over the last few days and I’m impressed.
After posting on other various message boards for many years now, it’s nice to find a place with more mature and worthwile discussions.
Hello. I’m Chris. I joined on Thursday and look forward to adding my opinions and thoughts to this wonderul place.
Welcome, Chris.
Very simple rules here, don’t be a jerk, keep the flaming to the Pit, don’t cut and paste an entire article.
And be patient…the hampsters can get overloaded sometimes.
In case you missed it in the registration agreement, there’s a $250 cover charge. The, uh, online payment scheme is currently down, but I can give you a PO Box that works just as well. I swear.
Amen to that. I just experienced a couple times of the boards moving slow.
I guess it’s a small price to pay for such a popular forum.
Regestration fee? Ah… I got ya.
Sent it to
Ino Goodfellow
Society of Ino for the advancement and succession of Ino.
Right?
Thank you for the kind welcomes.
I’ll remember and respect any rules.
Welcome to the sandbox! You’re right about this being an intelligent place, more or less. I’ve wandered about some other message boards and pretty left screaming into the night. This here’s a high class joint! We dress for dinner.
Of course, I meant pretty MUCH left screaming…
It’s Monday - what ya gonna do?
[ul]:eek: [sup]WE DO![/sup][/ul]
What?
You said nothing about dressing for dinner.
My tuxedo is packed and in storage - damn.
And welcome, Chris - looks like you’re gonna fit in with all us nuts very nicely! Glad to have you aboard!

Not to mention the hot chicks…if you’re into that.
Are we still allowed to post while nekkid?
Ahhh, yer intelligence wears Army shoes!
Considering that my username is lno and not Ino, you’d be sending the funds to the wrong guy. And we don’t want that, do we. Hey, it’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I’ve got Fatty the Bitch breathing down my neck, and if I don’t pay him, then he breaks my knees … so if the wrong guy gets the registration fee, then, well, capiche?
Good idea, but when he makes the check out to ino you won’t be able to cash it.
I’m part of the popular crowd? Wow…never thought that would happen.
Now I get to grin for the rest of the day while I think about the money I have to go pay tomorrow for my parking permit.
And kniz, I don’t know what this dressing for dinner crap is. I’ll show up however I feel like it and y’all be glad to have me there. Why? Because I’m me. 
I thought it was a prerequisite…dantheman wouldn’t LIE, would he???
Whatever rocks your boat. As for me, my desk chair is leather - not too good for nekkid sitting.
Oh, and we’d like to thank you for choosing Straight Dope airlines.
Give it time, someone will come along to insult your intelligence, your lineage, your choice of footwear, whatever you need insulted.
Welcome.
Your intelligence is ugly and your mother dresses it funny.
See?
