If I’m allowed to offer evidence in support of myself, I think the post I made in the “sad elephant news” thread on this very board may be the funniest thing I have ever done in my life. ---

_opens door_ Ok, you people are SICK! I mean, really, I was expecting something horrible in there, but I never thought… ugh. You guys are a bunch of sick puppies, all of you. I can’t believe I had to do that. I feel stained. I knew the SDMB was a hive of scum and villainy, but I didn’t think you were THIS disturbed. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. By the way, you need to get a new squid. ---

I like wierdaaron. Just the right balance of intelligence, wit, and a tiny bit of friendly snark. I’d sponsor him if I could. Ahem! Powers that be. Do as TubaDiva has commanded, and get to work on fixing it so that Charter Members can sponsor people! ---

So you’ve never told a knock knock joke before? Ok, done with the drive by snark and back to the hookers and blow with Spoons. ---

So, ehr, you’re sort of “in character,” shall we say, **kushiel**? People, I think we have a new candidate for the “ask the masochist” thread. **Malleus** , do you realize that squid was a cousin of Verne’s pet? Now you’ll be assaulted by giant squids reciting science fiction novels in French! ---

Ah, but I have the Goggles of Aquatic Invisibility. No squid shall see me as I swim. Now, if these are land squids, then I’m in trouble. ---

OK, OK, I’m late but you guys are not forgotten… Basically it’s just a takeoff on the ‘initiation’ tradition we have here on SDMB when there are new members… and a little bit of friendly payback for \*\*wierdaaron \*\*posting this bit of [drivel](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=530660) from a certain famous (or infamous, depending on your political stripe…) talk show host that I had on my ignore list. 'Tis in the first post. Of course, what I wasn’t counting on was that he’d be making friends with Cthulhu Jr. The best laid plans and all that… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wierdaaron-was-never-initiated-im-telling/508995.md?page=1)
