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?

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.

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
