Welcome, new guy. Your fruit basket should arrive shortly. In the meantime you may help yourself to any of the twinkies that you can find in the couch cushions. By the way, J-Lo or whatever your name is, I for one would like to try and avoid your list. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by lieu \* > \*\*The last thlng you want ls to get on lno’s llst. \*\* Crap! You mean now I have to make a list of lists I don’t want to get on? I haven’t been keeping track. That’s gonna take a lot of work, too. There are so _many_ things that are “the last thing”. I think I’m gonna need help from one of the math whiz’s, here, working out the algorithm to determine which one is _truly_ last. FWIW, I always imagined his name was pronounced ell-noe, like certain Englishmen saying " 'Ell, no!" But, I really, really liked the tickle-me-Imo idea. 🙂 Oh, yeah. Welcome, **Idle Thoughts**! I thought Wyatt was pronounced Grasshopper. ---

Hello **Idle Thoughts**. In honour of your arrival I am posting entirely naked save for a rather smart necklace made from a USB cord. And for the record, my name is pronounced very slowly while rolling your eyes around and doing a little dance. Just so you know. ---

lno? lno? “ell-en-oh”? And here I thought it was “eye-en-oh”, and stood for input ‘n’ output. Like, you know, a low-rent version of GIGO. Please don’t put me on the list! The death ray made me do it!
