Uhm, hi...::runs::

What? Every second male here has a crush on you. Especially in chat…

Hi Kim

Welcome to the board. I brought you a latte and a biscotti although it will probably be cold by noon.

It’s the thought that counts.

But Silver Fire, you are popular.
In a quiet, unknown, anonymous sort of way. :smiley:
And weyrdchic welcome to the boards. You’re already on my gitft list for the holidays.

I’m buying you a dictionary for Christmas. :wink:

Hi weyrdchic!

Here, have some coffee. I’d offer you a beer, but it’s still a little early (not like it’s ever stopped any of these folks, but I digress).

I’d try to corrupt you now, but I haven’t had my coffee yet, and I’m far too nice before I’ve had my coffee. So, curruption lessons will begin this evening. You’ll need to bring beer, chocolate, a cat o’ nine tails, a small goat, a copy of Bartlett’s Quotations, and a number two pencil.

See you later!

Persephone, you forgot to tell her to bring a straw!

You can’t have the goat without a straw! And weyrdchic make sure it’s a normal straw, not one of those bendy-straws.

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Pull up a chair, take off your coat and stay awhile. Feel free to put your feet up, if you get sleepy, there’s a hammock in the corner. Just be careful, never know who you might end up sharing it with!

Welcome to the boards! Don’t worry about getting addicted. As long as you don’t spend more than 23.5 hours here a day… you’ll be fine. Sometimes I think I spend way too much time here but what else am I supposed to do for 8 hours while I’m at work. :smiley: Have fun!

Crunchy: :::slaps forehead::: My bad! Weyrd, I also forgot to tell you, you’ll need a bag of red potatoes, a weedwhacker, and some fuzzy bunny slippers.

:::crossing fingers & hoping weyrd doesn’t notice that there is no connection between any of these things, except the goat & the straw…:::

I’m sorry, did I say too much? I didn’t mean to give anything away.

Hi Weyrdchic! I guess I can welcome you since I’m not a newbie anymore. I like South Park, and I happen to think it qualifies as a scathing satire, so it is witty and intelligent! Geez, throw in some poopy jokes and everyone disses you…

Anyway, howdy!

GYAH! Who to respond to first? O_O (my anime-freaked-out face, since :eek: was getting old)
Uhm…yes, Jean Grey, thank you muchly. Unfortunatly, most people haven’t seen the show beyond episode 12 or so, so they missed all the really good ones.
I kinda got lost in the weirdness about 10 replies back, but let me just say that you people all seem totally awesome. :slight_smile:
As for Tasha and Jess…uhm, besides the fact that we banned them from the lunch table periodically for their perverted comments, they’re fun, funny, don’t judge me, and Natasha was really supportive a week ago…so I really can’t ask for too much more from them. :wink:
Thanks a billion, and I now have just one more thing to ask…how the hell do you read all of these? O_O Homecoming is tomorrow night, and I’m gonna be seriously backed up when I get home!

Hey, Kim. Nice to have you here.

I have a question about your username, if you care to answer. The first thing I noticed was that, obviously, it’s spelled wrong. Did you do this because the correct spelling of the name was already taken? Or, you did it just because?

Because, you know, sometimes it’s just habitual of people to add numbers at the end of their names, or spell it differently because they’re so used to having their name of choice already taken. So, I was wondering, if you were in the same predicament.

Not that this is earth shattering information or anything, but, um, I’m just, um, inquisitive.

I did it because it looks cool :wink: It’s sort of an alter-ego type thing…weyrd is happyjumpyskippy movie highs me, and chic is overly gothic poetry me. I like to pretend that they live in some sort of harmony (but of course, I’m just lying to myself)
::hits her space bar:: STOP STICKING, DAMN YOU.

Hiya, weyrdchic. Nice ta meetcha.

And what the hell’s wrong with that? :mad:

Is it just me, or would The Goat & The Straw be an interesting name for an English pub?

Note to self: Do not go pubbing with MysterEcks.

Psst! Lean in close and I’ll whisper a little hint . . .
[sub] Use the straw to get yourself unbacked-up!*

[internal voice]Now only eleven more and I get that nifty toaster with slots wide enough to fit bagel slices. Not like I need one, but it’s a fun thing to have just in case. [/internal voice]

Hmmmmmm, you forgot to mention the fact that Ethan is scared of me and looks like a crucifix when I hug him because of that one comment I made a while back. Well, it’s not as bad as what I asked Jason about Ed McMahon. ::snickers:: Oh, and Kim, it’s gonna take you a while until you realize that it’s best to post to the ones you want to post to the most or whatever when you are pressed for time. It is an addiction, but a good one. Have fun, and I’m wondering if we should sign up pet puppy next… Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

LOL, yes, I did forget that. Shame on me. ::grins:: And what DID you ask Jason? I was trying to read lips, and it had more syllables than what we originally came up with…this only reinforces my theory that anything involving Jason somehow becomes an anecdote.I’ve still yet to ask him about ‘Swaziland’ and why the hell he thinks of cupcakes…or I think it was cupcakes. Whatever odd baked good came to mind when you held the crucifix pose. o_O
Yeah, I think I’m learning about the post thing slowly and surely…and I think Pet Puppy would be scared to death of us. If he’s not already, which I’m sure he is.
And I realize that Straight Dope isn’t a place for person-to-person conversations with lots of inside jokes in them, so I’ll head out now. :slight_smile:

Welcome to the neighborhood, weyrdchic,

I brought you something.
::holds out jiggling molded jello salad::
You’ll have fun here. Glad you could join us.:slight_smile:
