But we will ave to do something about that 'newbie' name.

a steaming pile of nutella sounds (and is) just the same as a steaming pile of something more commonly referred to as a steaming pile....

Well Nell, have they let up enough that you've been able to pick up a set of poi and learn a forward spin?

Haha, you crazy kooks! I love it. No, I haven't picked up the poi yet as it is too cold to be hanging about outside and I don't want to break any windows just yet.

Break a window?
Please tell me you're not going to learn with beamers. I would suggest a pair made of paper, easy on the body and it won't break any windows. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

You could always take some poi up by the arc welder when Malcolm isn't there...
Plenty of space around that dangerous piece of equipment, I hope.

Nell: Are you familiar with the concept of a glomp?

No glomping the newbie until she's been here for at least a month! We don't want to scare her away. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

*glomps the newbie with abandon*
I give GREAT glomps! Sometimes they even pick women up and twirl them around until they giggle with glee.

Just make sure you are oriented the right way, Doc.
By the way, so odd to not see "Dr in Training" under your name... But I think I'm getting used to it.

I was asking out of interest. I had no idea it would stir up this much fuss....

So I was reading your intro and I admit, I am wicked tired so instead of reading "sex: lady" I read "sexy lady" and thought, that's some kickin' shyte to be confident like that.
lol
Any way.
Welcome you sexy lady!
