No, this isn’t one of those “yo momma joke” threads (which IIRC are frowned on by the mods).
I just wanted to stop in and ask for a hearty Straight Dope welcome to infamousmom, the second of the two family members I’ve gotten hooked on the Straight Crack (the other being my occasionally-posting brother Vengeant).
Wow, you might be saying. Your MOM knows how to use the internet? In fact, infamousmom has been active online for longer than I have – she got her first modem in 1983, before most people even knew what a desktop PC looked like.
So yeah, a hearty Straight Dope welcome! (um … not the kind of welcome that involves a goat. Not the toothbrush one, either. She’s my mom after all.)
Yomomma! No, make that: Yo, Momma. Welcome. If you don’t want to pay the above mentioned tax, you can always take the easy was out and post a link to nekked pictures of yourself. Either way is quite acceptable. Soon after that, you will receive the membership card, official ring and instructions on how to do the secret handshake. Enjoy.
Hi infamousmom, good to have you here. My mom’s just starting to use the internet at home, although she and my dad have to use dial-up. It’s going to take some doing to get her somewhere like this
Hi, infamousmom, from another momma whose kid hooked her on the Straight Crack. Trust me, it’s worth all the aggravation of the addiction. Soon you’ll be cursing the hamsters like the rest of us. Poor overworked hamsters!
