1. Hi.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

2. Hi and welcome to DU!

[Dark]

3. Wow.

You're the first person to welcome me.

[Dark]

4. Oh, and thanks.

It was nice of you. How's the weather where you live? Here, it's pouring.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

6. Today 83 degrees and sunny.

This is perfect weather. I dread summer (I live in the south).

[Dark]

9. Oh, god.

I live in Ohio (obviously) and here we're waiting for the Cicadas (little red-eyed bugs that fly around like they've had more than Dubya at a kegger. They're also more disgusting) Coming around every 17 years, they are one of Nature's horrible, accursed anathema of a miracle. They're due at the beginning of summer this year!

I may have to travel south for a few weeks when they come. Dumbya's grotesqueness is enough for me.

5. Let me be the second. Welcome to DU!

10. Thank you too.

Newyaker99 is right. It makes a big difference.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

7. People are nice here. I shoudn't be the last.

[PartyPooper]

8. BlackVelvetElvis, you can keep kicking this to 1,000 posts.

And, I won't tell!

;-)

11. Ha! I could but I love socializing too much.

I love getting to know the folks here. For the record, this place has taught me so much and enriched not only my online experience, but my life too.
I've waited for this quite a long time.

[Dark]

12. Neither will I.

:-)

13. Check in to the insomniac thread.

Also, please consider contributing to the anti-Detroit Red Wings trolling.

[Dark]

14. You have to make your thousandth post a good one too!

It'll bring you good luck (Tomorrow's headlines: Bu$h Impeached today)

15. I thought post 666 was a good one

I wasn't making it up either. By the end of the day, most of my students found out about it (from another teacher) and we all had a good laugh.

[Dark]

16. LOL!

Hot-pink!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

17. I was amazed. My students LOVED it.

It was so chewed up.

[Dark]

19. Are you sure the teethmarks were from a dog?

[Dark]

18. Did you ever find out who's it was? Did you have an idea?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

20. I wish I knew. I could've been stolen from someone's trash

I kicked it into the vacant lot across the street in some brush. A few weeks later it was gone.

[Dark]

21. Who would take a used, chewed up. . .uh, martial aid?

[Dark]

22. Oops! I mean marital!

It wasn't a pair of numchucks, right?

[BlackVelvetElvis]

23. In the middle of my quest, my modem conked out

I was pissed.
Thanks Orion523 for talking to me early this morning.

24. That stinks... I hate it when I lose my connection.

I seriously go through withdrawal. So what is it, 6 more?
