VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Hi All!

New to the board...old & feeble in every other way (mostly).

Long time voice talker who figured I'd best give in and learn these newfangly internet machine contraptions now that it's 1998; although, I'm skeptical that the interwebs are going to catch on... What? Oh...it's 2012? Crap.

Nice to be here...you people look amazing! (I should've dressed up.) I brought cake..but I left it in the trunk of the car. Luckily, it's 30 degrees here...so, it's all good. Dig in! Take turns, though...if you all swarm the trunk like sharks my neighbors will think I'm selling contraband.....again.

...So now what do I do? Dance? Tell a joke? Hit 'SUBMIT'? (Blasted computers...) Wink

jonathan, welcome! your serendipity is appreciated. i'm thinking i'm really behind the times because, based on another thread, i said to myself "what the hell is a vga cable?" and i flippin' HAVE ONE.

cake, chocolate, llama duty --> it's all there in the orientation packet you received.

And make sure you let the llama out right after he eats. I swear the cake goes right through him....

Thanks, Diane & Jeff!

I'm brewing a fresh cauldron of chocolate as we speak. I was thinking of topping each chocolate bar with a scoop of chocolate...

Took the llama out for a jog and he/she/it just stood there looking at me, like... "You jog, moron...where's the cake & chocolate?"

I like the llama.

Jonathan, welcome to the VO-BB.
I hate to tell you this, but you better learn real fast about the llama being a he or a she. Just ask Todd.
A fellow by the name of Jake, joined the VO-BB about 3 years ago. He took the llama out for a walk. The llama showed up a week later. We never heard from Jake again.

Jonathan,

Welcome to the VO-BB. I think you'll fit in just fine. Fittings for the special vests we wear from time to time will be early next week. Laugh

Bailey: So...that's why the llama looked at me squinty-eyed and mumbled, "Jake." Then spit at me and made the throat-slash visual with his paw...er, hand...uh, front-leggy-thing... At first I thought he was maybe talking about my youngest son, Jake...like he ate him or something...but, now I'm on track. Or not at all. Which is normal.

Bob: Thanks! I hope it's not a vest like the one my family got me for Christmas where the sleeves wrap around the back and then they padlock it and then they drive you to a nondescript gray brick building with bars on the windows and shove you out the car door without slowing their roll... The coffee in there was horrible, but I met some nice folks and I got to drool a lot without any condescending looks...

Nobody warned you about Liz???

I can see telling you about the llama, that's important. And the chocolate. That's crucial. But, forgetting to mention Liz's little...ah... need... well, now you know.

And, when warmer weather rolls around, we can clue you in about the watercress.

Hi Jonathan... now here's someone who's done his research, and what's more, doesn't seem afraid to put on the rubber gloves (I find they serve well for both llama cleaning and recreational purposes).

Oh, and don't take Liz's warning about how she is without coffee too lightly. I've met that beast... it's frightening!

... and CC's quite right... it's a tad too cold for the watercress at the moment.

Cheers
Peter

Seriously...WHAT is the POINT of decaf????? Get Lost

Of course...as Peter will attest...a Southern Comfort Sour will do in a pinch Wink
