Welcome to PF. :smile:
I've been so busy I have had to slack on my welcoming duties. Thanks, Evo.:blushing:
Welcome, newbie.
 
Yes, I do believe you are in the handful.
 
Some of them are a REAL handful! :smile:

(runs and hides - hoping the fish isn't frozen this time!) :rolleyes:

Welcome Newbie!
I'm pretty newbie myself -- it's my one month anniversary TODAY! :!)

It's a GREAT forum, and it certainly doesn't take long for the sisters here to spot you and slap you with fish, does it? :smile:

Ooops, you're right. :redface:

I was thinking for Thanksgiving we could hit new members with frozen turkeys. :-p

You're going to have to confess your shoe size. You are definitely Sister material. Can you shoot a shotgun?

Anyone else here familiar with the etymology of the word "funky"?

And you're supposed to be a Texan? If she couldn't, it would be a not-shot gun. :rolleyes:

Welcome newbie! Should we give you the instructions now for contacting Greg about a username change, or wait until you request them later when you're completely addicted to PF and no longer a newbie? :biggrin:

It's good to see our new recruitment plan for the sisterhood is working. The promised 5 lbs of chocolate is on the way.

For all of the new initiates to the sisterhood, the first mission is a challenging one. Twisting_Edge must be persuaded, by any means necessary :devil:, to deliver his insurance payment...erm...a Teddy Ruxpin...to Evo.

<smacks Neohaven with a frozen tilapia>

HAH! You're doomed now. I don't believe any newbie has survived initiation, but your time here may protect you.

Belated welcome to PF!

<grabs the tilapia out of evo's hands before she hits him, cooks the fish, and feeds it to his cat>

You might think again... Those fish are rare... and I got reflexes... that's 'cause of the time spent here :P

Yes, but are you prepared for...

*flying carp sneak attack!*
 
  • #31
We'll just load that bucket of chum into the rocket launcher. You're not going to catch that before it hits you! :biggrin:

Urg... that hurts. I wish I was female... that way I could be at least part of the sisterhood someday and not have to endure all this. :P

Whatever species of fish you use to smack, be sure not to lease it from Unhygienix

Yeah, and make Fulliautomatix completely mad.

All the flying fish may have scared her off or she could be waiting for it to settle down so she won't get whacked.

It's not us, is it? :rolleyes:

Has anyone lasted more than a few days? :redface:

Well, the down-turn in participation may be related to the PMs I send out to the newbies... :rolleyes:

How? She hasn't even been back to read anything anyone's written. Her last activity was a minute or two after that first comment.

She's smart. She knew what was waiting for her. So she got away just in time. That's the first scenario.

As for the second, well...she doesn't know what's waiting for her.

Sure. Just don't sign in. I think you can read the forum without signing in. You only have to sign in if you want to post.

You can also use a sock-puppet.

I'm wondering what she was before she was a girl.

Watches for flying wooden puppet fish :bugeye:
