We only use the Criscotm lovingly.
Well, I suppose I'm grateful for that. But honestly, is there any other way to use Crisco?
As far as my word as a still-kind-of-new-person goes?
Welcome. Pull up a chair.
Be prepared for threads to veer sharply off-topic at all times and be prepared for Awesome.
Whenever you are here, have your Awesome Belt secured at all times, you never know when full-speed impact with Awesome will occur. Be ready. The Awesome is everywhere.
Thank you! Don't mind if I do! *pulls up a chair* Right. Awesome Belt. Gotcha. *secures the belt*
I really can't believe how effing awesome this silly comic strip is. I can't tell you how many times I've picked up the phone, emailed, or texted Kellichou (my twin sister) to laugh about how PERFECT a strip is, and she'll start laughing hysterically and tell me that she was just about to tell me the same thing! today when I was running errands I was thinking about how much I miss my sister, and then I started thinking about our Wombie Brain Linktm (our term of endearment for each other is "Wombie" as in Womb-mate... wombat on this board goes by Womby as a diminutive nickname), and I started thinking about Ray likening Charmin Ultra bath tissue to wiping his ass with a Belgian waffle...and I laughed so hard I had to pull over the truck and just laugh for a few minutes. Awesome.
Um...
Welcome.

Uh... wow.
Yeah. What he said. ^^
Hey, I'm in Central US too. Welcome to TOUAMB.
You don't have to worry about a group ass-pounding unless you start being a dick.
Dude, don't be a dick to strangers.
Hullo, fellow Centralian! I shall always remember to never be a dick. Well, to strangers, anyhow. Once I know you all well enough, I'll be the biggest dick ever!
I'm in Central US, too!
Welcome.
*waves and smiles* Lovely! Glad to be here. Thank you.
Also, make sure if one out of four threads do NOT request your continued lack of being a dick to strangers, make sure to add it to keep the stats up.
Not being a cock is often acceptable too.
Um... what? *counts on her fingers, mumbling* ...one of four... not being a dick...adding dicks to strangers... Huh? Um, okay I guess.
Can for imaginative title for self-introduction thread. But since this is the hazing I guess I have to do something mean with the can... pass the Crisco.
Wahoo! A can! *beams* Wait... what? Crud, I've strapped myself into this chair! *eyes the Crisco with a growing panic* Can I at least see the can first?
Hello Muse,
I hail from central Canada, or as your president calls it: "Can-ner-da."
Is the person in your avatar beer bonging?
He's not my president, thank you.

To answer your question, I have no idea what the person in my avatar is doing. I did an image search on "Ketel One" for my avatar and this was the most interesting picture that came up. The title of the image is (if memory serves) "Ketel One DJ," and something about Brazil. Nobody parties like a Brazilian, so I went with it. My guess is that he's "Ketel One bonging." I don't know. But he can shoot rays out of his fingers. How cool is that? You know, we should try to come up with a name for him. He needs a name, don't you think?
I, too, am in the Central USA (clearly it's time to organize AcheFestCentral), and I welcome you! This is a good intro thread.
AcheFest Central sounds delightful, although with the wombat over there brandishing the Crisco, I suspect I'll be experiencing it here pretty quick.

And thank you for your kind words on my thread. Perhaps that can somehow be used to mitigate what seems to be the prevailing direction of my initiation?

Hate the man, not the accent.
Heh. Why limit ourselves?

Seriously, this has been a most welcome welcome. I enjoy your company already. Thanks, all.
