Hi everyone...This is my very first post, although i've been watching for a while...kinda creepy huh? There are so many people in this forum that interest me and the topics are so fun. I hope to learn much from all of you and maybe even have a little to give back, also.

so...hi..how are you...who are you...where are you and all of that...

Watch out!

Nasty, horrible, vicious, terrible, bad trolls are seconds away. In moments, they will descend and start flaming you.

Hello Elphie!

Don't apologize for lurking before posting, it's good. Gives you a feel for the place, not creepy.

I'm in Minnesota, have been here a couple of months, and like reading and remodeling. And I'm a pretty good cook. [Smile] Since we're tabulating.

*a troll stumbles out of the forest, groans and sits down*

*a Phanto cries out as it gets squished under a troll's left buttock*

hmmm?

*the troll unloads it's cooking devices, starts a blaze, scrapes it's left bum and adds it to the stew*

Pay no attention to fallow. He's really harmless.

Welcome to the board Elphie! I was a bonafied lurker before I became addicted. Actually, I was addicted as a lurker, so it was too late for me, even before I started posting. [Smile] Glad to see you here and welcome!!

Welcome to Hatrack! I think it's a great thing that you lurked for awhile before posting. It doesn't hurt to become familiar with a community before joining. We're happy to have you here--we're always looking for fresh mea- I mean, new and exciting people.

Slash should be by to eat you soon. Don't worry, it's a rite of passage around here.

Hello, I'm JT and I have been too busy to post in the last 2 weeks, so recently I've kind of been lurking too. I tend to say stupid things and I'm rather stubborn (just ask Raia when you talk to her, and I do encourage you to talk to her).

Should I be offended that he hasn't eaten my soul yet?

NOOOOOO!!!!! little one, you shouldn't. Slash likes a good marinade. You're almost done, just one more lap.

Welcome Elphie! Don't worry. I've been posting here regularly for over a year now (lurked for ages before that), and I still find it nerveracking. It's not because of the people here, I find them wonderful to be around, but because it's my nature. I tend to be overly critical of myself.

I hope we can become friends. [Smile]

BTW... I don't know about you guys, but kinder, gentler Slash sorta scares me. [Eek!]

Welcome Elphie. Please make yourself at home, and no matter what happens, never, ever change your screen name. Unless you decide to change it to Ralph. That's just fine.

I think I know how you feel...the first post thingy. It's hard to make a first post; one's worried about making an donkey of oneself.

I'm doing fine; although I have a chemistry test coming up soon, and I ought to be studying for it instead of Hatracking.

Hi, Elphie. It's not too difficult being a jatraquero. Our main duties are keeping a close watch on OSC, and making sure he doesn't get to a point where he buys a large plot of land and names it "Ender Ranch" or "Battle School Ranch". Bad things happen when a famous person gets their own ranch.

Yeah, he is pretty stubborn... and he can be a bit of an idiot... but he's harmless, I promise. [Wink] I'm still alive, at any rate.
