I know you lurk here. I know you’re being wishy-washy about a screenname to pick to post here. I’m sure some of the fine folks will be happy to supply you with a user name.

So here you go. Stop waffling. You have to drink the poiso-…er…tonic and become one of us.  
Also, there’s a squid with [del]your name on it[/del] the name of Mariah that’s waiting for you. I know you don’t like seafood, but she’s very friendly. One would almost say…cuddly.

Also, there’s a gorilla here, too, but someone else will be here shortly to fill you in on that.

Maybe she’s apprehensive about the goat. Or the pogo stick.

Towelfish, clearly, is not amused.

She graduated MSU . After beating Michigan last week, you would think she would be feeling froggy. Spartanette would be good.
