    Mods don't get paid. When mods get paid, we'll open a complaint box. :dry:

    You could just say, "Yo, workshop's over there."

    Let me first say I would have responded sooner but I'm still having problems with my keyboard. So I'm only able to brows the links I have bookmarks for and can't type anything. So that means you might not hear from me from time to time until I get a USB keyboard.

    I was originally in my first post only talking about my greetings, not the mods. I know the mods greetings have a purpose to spread the New Members Guide, and @KaTrian made my point that it isn't easy saying something original every time. On another board I got counseled for using a cookie cutter greeting, so I don't want to do that.

    In my second post I was just joking as a follow up joke to what I assume @thirdwind was joking as well.

    So if there was any confusion that hurt any feelings I'm sorry. :agreed:

    How about using a poem? Something like this:

    Roses are red,
    Violets are blue,
    I've read the New Member's Guide,
    And so should you.

    Or even a haiku:

    A stranger joins us.
    He reads the New Member's Guide.
    Ah! Enlightenment.

    The best one I've ever seen was this, it was called 'A Poem on Valentines Day':

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    Sugar is sweet
    And you're a bastard.

    I read it every now and then to remind me of why I didn't just leave her - I bolted, screaming. :rofl:

    You should have just hidden in a gay bar, because, hey, liquor! :D

    Ha! I don't remember the last time I went to a gay bar. They are huge fun though, maybe I should go back.

    I used to go to a sports bar in Victoria, BC, and they eventually turned into a gay bar. The only difference between the sports bar and the gar bar was that the gay bar had a baby grand piano right in the middle of it. :D

    Oh, so the only difference is they classed the place up a bit? :p

    Ah, true yeah. :) Actually, I found gay bars to have an in general much more friendly atmosphere than a regular bar.

    Not sure if it's because of that or what but at least one gay bar in Helsinki was eventually overtaken by a straight clientele. They advertised themselves as 'straight-friendly' so maybe they were too friendly. :eek:

    Straight-friendly indeed! That is something. If I were a gay man I'd imagine that would annoy me, haha.

    I've just noticed something that I think is amazing! Ever noticed how the Dwarf runes in The Lord of the Rings are not the same as the runes found in The Hobbit?

    The runes found in The Lord of the Rings are Tolkien's fictional dwarf runes. The runes found in The Hobbit? They are actual Norse runes. You can actually use The Hobbit to learn ancient Norse runes.
