[QUOTE=freekalette] \*But not new enough to get a proper initiation. Dammit, how’d I miss out? [/QUOTE] **freekalette** doesn’t remember. Good. The recipe for the ice cream is supposed to be a _secret_. ---

Aw. How cute. You brought a basket. Take a right down the hallway and go into the room that has the loud splashing coming from it. ---

Wait, what? Naked party? Dammit! Somebody needs to initiate me right now!! Or at least, if it’s too late for that, tell me the password so I can attend future initiations. Damn, I always get the ass-end of the deal… ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] \*lays down a large tarp and a red carpet going to room 203 [/QUOTE] **LOUNE** , brother, you’re just going to have to start reading the memos. Not to be a dick, but 203 is actively on fire right now, same as it has been for the last 56 days. As a matter of fact, the entire second floor is unusable until sometime next month due to the life sized gummi Ron Jeremys that are stockpiled in there. Use 319. ---

Oh, and don’t use 319. It still has residue from the violet vision-adaptation experiments. We were trying to make it easier to see in the Records Room, and that actually worked out okay, but then people started to say that the flowers didn’t ‘look right’ and that there were strange markings on the walls. We inspected the walls and found nothing. After Bob grew compound eyes and started dancing, we called a halt to the experiment. I understand 320 is open. Or there’s the entire fourth floor. ---

So we’re going to have **meghan** and **WormTheRed** in a double initiation… I’m sure we can make room for **freekalette** , even though she’s been here for a year now, and even posted her photo. Interesting link, **Sunspace**. So that’s where Mariah wound up. Maybe we can get **Hal Briston** to send us a loaner animal while we wait on the new squid and this season’s goat. Meanwhile, the whipped cream is fresh. Walk this way. Welcome to the boards, **meghan** and **WormTheRed**! ---

Yes, **bbs2k** , always. I haven’t really been here for a year, though! My guest period was a year ago, but when it ran out I didn’t pay up to join until March, and I was too busy in the Pit to get a “proper” initiation party. It really would mean a lot to me, especially since I always help to lure…I mean, ah…WELCOME our new members. Yeah, welcome. That’s it. (Heh, “lure,” what was I thinking? _shrug_) And I’d be completely honored if **Hal Briston** lent us one of his animals. ---

Love? From **Auto**?? Oh my, I think I’m feeling a little faint. If I wasn’t married, I’d have to scoop you up and keep you! Psst, hey guys. I think one of em’s trying to get away.
