You should, given the other end of the spectrum. And I would say FriendBill is much closer to the UncleBill and Billdo end of the bell curve. An intelligent, witty, extremely nice man, as those Dopers who met him last summer will affirm.
Oh yeah! I forgot about Billdo. And probably a ton o’ other Bills on here, too. But you’re the only Friend(Bill) we got, soo…
Oh, good, I was wondering about the “Friend of God”/“Wildest Bill” thing, too.
So he’s not. Okay.
Persephone–I promise not to be hostile at all…we’re staging a very polite and well-mannered takeover!
Typo–thanks for taking the thyme to welcome me!
And thanks to everyone else as well!!
Bill
Yeah, he’s always trying to curry someone’s favour.
Cumin in, the posting’s fine! Allspice this thread up a bit, since I’m sure I’m parsley responsible for this and there’s nutmeg going on. Kinda vanilla, really. I’m beginning to think I’m not worth my salt, here! Do I have you at bay yet, or shall I leaf?
I think I’ll have to a-basil myself for this post.
Oh, and Eutychus, I’m a she. 
Welcome, welcome, FriendBill, from another two caps, no space member. Except if you’re practically family, I’m your sister-outlaw or something and more than friend. Hugs of welcome!
(ps: Did you get the latest memo from headquarters on The Takeover?) 
Hey Uncle Dave…hi Uncle FriendBill. Yes, I have been initiated into The Plan. It seems there is no stopping the tide of inevitability, so why bother? (Mommy Hawk is looking over my shoulder as I type, laughing her tail feathers off.) Hurm, Uncle FriendBill, you may be one of the first on these boards to be welcomed by someone newer than you are.
I knew it.
I just knew, as soon as I saw that screenname, that yet another member of Dave’s family was here.
I’ll be waking up with a horse’s head in my bed tomorrow, won’t I? :eek:
Welcome FriendBill! Any Friend who is a Bill of Dave’s is a Bill of mine.
Oh dear. I see I’m responsible for corrupting more youths than just my daughter.
Good thing Halford the Human Eel[sup]TM[/sup] is too young to join.
Hey is there anything like a Family Rate around here?
Hi, FriendBill
Initiation question:
Do you think Straight Dope is an oxymoron?
No, OxyMoron is a Straight Doper.
[Don Corleone] What have I done to deserve such disrespect?[/Don Corleone]
Welcome, FriendBill, my second father!
From a technically old member to a new one, welcome aboard!
PS: A secret meeting will be held at oh-two-hundred hours at you-know-where concerning the details of The Plan. Missions will be allotted. Coffe and cookies will follow.
