I don't think I introduced myself when I arrived, or, if I did, I certainly don't remember it, and as I've been recently reminded, newbies should introduce themselves when they start posting here, so I'll introduce myself. A little late, but, well, I always was a little slow on the uptake.
Let me see. I'm currently watching a Wallace and Grommit - the funky werechicken one - with my nephew. I made play-doh earlier today and had fun squishing all that stuff between my fingers.
That makes me about five, then.
Um, I love OSC's books. Ender's Game is the mostest brilliantest, and I love Memsahib Dude Sir for writing his books most brilliantly.
I wanna be a famous writer like him when I'm all growed up. And I don't wanna be a squished up cucumber like the one in the movie.
and, um, I wanna open up a mob supply store. You know, so angry mobs don't have to go home to get their torches and pitchforks. And maybe I'll supply some combat gear, too.
I think that's about it. Oh, and I'm really really shy. Painfully shy.
Um, yeah, that's it.
Hi, Denizens of Hatrack! *waves*

I was wondering who you were! Thanks for the intro.
Does your mob store carry hard-to-find items like horse's heads?
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
But you've been here forever . . . haven't you?
*puzzled*
Oh well! Welcome!
*smile*

Crap, and I was just going to post Hello # 4, well I'll just have to wait for a more auspicious time.
Quid, I like the idea of a mob-supply store--will you perhaps have little trolley vendors on street corners? Will this just be a Sri Lanka thing, because we've been known to have riots here in Ohio as well?
I look forward to seeing more of your posts around!

Goodness gracious! You've been here longer than I have! Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
sarcare, you can post Hello #5, and no, there's no reason to wait.
Shan, I have not been here forever. You've been here longer, so I've only been here for forever-4 months.
Tante, yes, we can stock special requests. Horses heads sound good, and I think I'll expand on that to include rooster entrails, donkey's asses, and other animal body parts.
beverly, really? But... but... but you've always been here!

I think we'll add gasoline tanks and matches and perhaps bales of hay, to the inventory for a good barn burning. Also marshmallows, cuz, ya know, what's a bonfire without a marshmallow roast? Posted by Orincoro (Member # 8854) on :
Better throw in the complete works of Shakespeare.
Yet another context in which that sentence works perfectly Posted by Heffaji (Member # 3669) on :
If I could think of something clever involving Hello and #9, we'd have a new thread.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Can I run a snack shop out of your mob supply store? Mobs get hungry. And thirsty.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Yeah, snacks sound good.
But only if you offer sambal oelik and chilli-garlic ketchup.
Heffaji, who says the hello threads have to be in order?
Orincoro... I have nothing to say to you. Nothing at all.
Posted by Heffaji (Member # 3669) on :
Oh, no need for them to be in order. I just don't have any clever things that make sense to put in a Hello #9 thread.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Then why not think of something clever to go with Hello #13?
And is there a reason why NO ONE, NO ONE AT ALL has welcomed me to Hatrack? (Except for Shan, which I'm ignoring, because that would ruin the funny. ) What, is this place the most unfriendliest place ever?
Yeah, okay, so not funny. Eh. I tried. Posted by Heffaji (Member # 3669) on :
Oh, I'm just on a Beatles kick, so there's that disposition towards the number 9.
Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :
(((quids)))
I'd welcome you, but then I would have to pretend that you were never here before hand. However, I will say that it's definately a highlight of the day reading your posts.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Heffaji - Do it! Do it! Do it!!!!
Stan, you are a sweet complimenter. Thank ye kindly, sir!
We're expecting a huge shipment of pitchforks to arrive tomorrow, so anyone who's planning on mobbing tonight will have to supply their own.
We're also getting in an assortment of masks. The supplier gave me a great deal on the presidents, so, ya know, we'll have a lot of those. Plus some Annie ones, and the Scarecrow and the Lion and the Headless Horseman. Oughta be fun.
I'm craving some licorice. kq, are you gonna have some? I want black, please. Posted by Heffaji (Member # 3669) on :
I want to, I want to! And yet, I've got nothing...
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
HatCrack Welcome Haiku? Nonsense poetry? Or, wait, you could start a round-robin story. If you like, I'll gift you with the one pitchfork I've already got in stock, a torch, and a pack of matches. You can start a mob. The other mobsters can supply their own until tomorrow.
That could be fun!

*weeps at being ignored*
Not fair!!!
*stomps feet, too*

I've got a shovel.

Her arms are not excessive.

Hey, Shan, could you stomp a little harder? I lost the key to the cellar and I need to let loose the monsters down there. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
