yeah . . . so . . . I'm new . . . uh . . . hi.

saw Ted Striker’s post and figured I’d follow suit.

I’m 30, straight, married, liberal, pretty religious (and not just “spiritual,” I actually go to church, not knockin’ those who don’t, just saying), I live in Atlanta but I’m from a smaller town in south Alabama. I gots no kids, but I gots two dogs. I’ve been reading the SDMB for about a month now. Folks seem pretty interesting . . . much less acrimonious than the ACLU message board I sniffed around in a few months back. I am predicting now that I will be wrong about 50% of the stuff I post because I get things mixed up a lot, so I should make an interesting target for some of the headhunters around here.

in closing . . howdy

S’then why put it in quotes?:wink:

(Oh, come ON! It’s better than what I usually do in threads like these!)

Howdy! You’ve picked a fun place to hang out. You really didn’t want to have a life, did you?

:smiley:

My dog’s breath smells like dog food.

What? It’s actually apropos here. Look at his username!

the sadist in me likes to watch non-fatal accidents, fights, embarassing moments (though I would never reveal this penchant for schadenfreude to my real world acquaintances). the anonymoty of the internet allows me to create potentially embarrassing situations using my persona as the target . . . at least that’s what I keep telling myself because under that logic every misstep is really just part of the next joke . . . . flawless. even my misspelling are really just part of the landscape of misfortune for this poor soul wiggumpuppy (a name that is in and of itself a misstatement of a fine though brief lived character - wiggle puppy).

Wait. Is it actually Wiggumpuppy? I always thought he said WigglePuppy.

Hmmm… Should probably read all the posts before pounding the ‘Submit Reply’ key. :smack:

he did indeed, see the parenthetical in my last post . . . scenery

Didja know we have bizarre hazing rituals for newbies?..

Sunspace will be along with the calamari in juuuuust a minute…

…now where did that goat and felching straw go? Hmm, they were right here… :dubious:

:smiley:

(Welcome aboard, wiggumpuppy!)

goats, no lube, and such . . . hell I was in a fraternity in the south, a region notorious for ritualized brutality, so we gonna fish or cut bait?

yeah . . . so . . . I’m not . . . uh . . . hi.

:slight_smile:

Welcome. So are you intending to officially join our little band of oddballs (the hamsters are getting hungry) ?

Clearly, wiggumpuppy, you are a man who knows no fear.

We’ll remedy that in a short moment.

(Guys! Bring out the big one!)

Sounds like a personal ad… Oh wait, you’re married.

Anyhoo, this is a great place. Stick around and you’ll be dropping inside one-liners with the best (and the rest) people on the planet.

I knew I would take heat for the tenor of my first post and the title of the thread, but the sarcasm was swift and painless and for that I am grateful. I’ve created an alter ego, titled in homage to an alter ego (after having altered the alter ego’s title) and set him loose in the rough and tumble threads of the SDMB. Beer calls, so I must leave for the evening. I will be back tomorrow to see how wiggumpuppy has fared. Be gentle on his bum; he has a long car ride tomorrow.

Be welcome. Enjoy your stay. :slight_smile:

We’ll see how brave he is after the hot coffee enema. :eek:

uh… yeah… so like… uh… Welcome to the boards!

Note to self: If Keapon asks me out for “coffee”, refuse!!!

The Big Goat is in the shop getting roatted and balanced. It won’t be ready until Tuesday. The shop gave us a loaner llama. It’ll have to do…
