    I have been lurking around the site for a little while and I figured that a home loss to Wigan is as good a reason as any to come out into the open. You all seem like an amiable crowd. I'm currently attending grad school at Indiana University in Bloomington following several years living abroad (Eastern Europe, British Virgin Islands, Alaska (which might as well be abroad)).
    Rough going today. Seemed like a tentative lineup. Nice to see LBM back though.
    Shashlik, by the way, is the Russian word for shish kabob. I'm an eager carnivore and, as usernames go, it's never taken.
    COYW!!!

    greetings and welcome to the site.

    I would say more but I just noticed that it says "The World's Foremost Authority" above pettyfog's avatar and it scared the crap outta me...

    Rummy,

    Everybody knows that "The World's Foremost Authority"is Professer Irwin Corey!

    Shaslik,

    Welcome aboard. What are you studying in the wilds of Indiana?

    Yep!

    For the uninitiated, Prof. Erwin Corey was a comedy persona that went back to Vaudeville and was huge on TV through the 1950s. He made a few comebacks in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. He's the perfect hero for Petty. Why?

    His entire schtick was declaiming and hectoring the audience on all subjects using impressive sounding words that meant absolutely nothing. He used every illogical argument possible to try and prove the topical equivalent of "1 + 1= a bunch of bananas."

    Sound familiar? :wink:

    That's why I always smile everytime I open one of Fog's harangues. He may be crazy, and his logic might be skewed, but The Petty is a cool dude. 8)

    Awww...you two remind me of an old married couple, HatterDon and Pettyfog.

    or the two that used to sit in the balconey on "The Muppet Show," Statler and Waldorf, only heckling each other instead of other posters. :lol:

    Nah...I'm still going with Statler and Waldorf, just so I can post this picture. Brings back happy childhood memories. They were my favorite muppets, along with Kermit.

    Shashlik has probably run away by now..
    "Those people are nuts!"

    Still... beats the Off'al MB, right now, doesnt it.

    Even OW is boycotting it. I'm thinking of doing that, again, as well.

    Stupid!

    You have to love it when even a "Welcome to the Board" thread can be hijacked!

    mmm, I kind of feel like I'm the root of the hijacking. Now I'm be titled "thread hijack instigator" or something. Nah, i'm innocent. Actually, I blame...DCHeather!

    anyways, once again, welcome Shashlik!

    Glad to have been of service. Got to be honest: didn't expect to see the old muppet guys when I started this. Must be a good sign.

    I think I can speak for both of us when I say that Fog and I are pleased to be your favorite Muppets.

    This is an insane thread. I love it.
