Atop the Mule, which is parked near the upper end of the ramp, are a cooler full of jugs of Mudder's Milk and an array of baskets of strawberries. Everyone coming aboard is welcome to partake.
Next, you stash your stuff in one of the designated wheeled cages and keep a key.
Stop by the Virtual Browncoat Locker and let us issue you a perfectly fitted coat. Now you're looking shiny.
Next, freshen up (sorry the line's so long but after all there are by now over 47000 crew signed on!) and brave the airy-scary steps and catwalk up to the galley.
In the galley we maintain a buffet that you can question to your heart's (and stomach's) content: mangos, papayas, pineapples, bacon-wrapped oysters, 'tater salad, fresh bao, wife soup...most anything you want. The shimmerwine fountain is at the aft end of the table. Please keep your feet well away from the underside of the table at that point. Something seems to have been living under there for eight or so years, and it may be dangerous.

Oh, and don't forget to sign up for your turn at chores!

Last time you got your noobs all over my Forsaken chocolate hot tub. Do you know how hard that shit is to get out? Make sure the door to the pyre is locked before the noobs is let loose. It's worse than the damn llama's. A polite word in their ear about who a certain turnipy coat belongs too wouldn't go amiss. Collating data,as they say. Kthanxbi.

Bestower of Titles, Designer of Tshirts, Maker of Mottos, Keeper of the Pyre, Owner of a too big Turnippy smelling coat with MR scratched in the neck (thanks FollowMal!)

I am on The List. We are The Forsaken and we aim to burn!

Pre-Edit: This is to be read in the jestful tone of our posts in the olden days. I'm truly sorry if I scared anyone. ROFL away:

Sweet Jebus, FMF. Cranky much? We're using my portable fumarole and not your pyre. Check among your alleged friends for chocolate-y smallclothes if you're looking for miscreants. And let's hear naught above a whisper about llamas, since I seem to remember widespread, across-the-boardish enthusiasm for the shaving of these gentle creatures at our last party. My big guy is still growing out the labyrinth with which he was decorated by some overly Muddered artist. He looks as if he'd been visited by aliens.

Feed not the trolls, scare not the noobs, and keep close track of your List status.

>>I prefer an ice cube, pointy-corner down through the grate, and well-placed obstacles, like the cattle-fence in 'Safe'.

Fellow Newbies: there is a huge collection of Firefly soundtrack music (and some dialogue) by sneaker98 on One Trading Post.

That'd be a double thrill: either the drippy or the steppy-on part.

Newbs and all, Do Not Forget there is voting going on in TCM's Caption Tightpants thread right now. You don't have to have posted a caption to vote - - the voting's for all. Go to the end of the captioned photos. Click on the yellow link, read the captions chosen, vote for two, click submit, then go back to the thread and post a quick "I Voted" to help keep the thread up where it can be seen.

Love to see the newbies here. I don't post often but I've been here for quite a while.

MAEMAELU Welcome as #48040 on the crew.

Join SAFEZOR here and we'll sign you on, handing over the traditional mug of Mudder's Milk and punnet of strawberries.
You're invited to stash your stuff in one of these here wheelie-cages, keep a key, and come up to the galley, stopping along the way at the virtual coat-locker to be issued your very own individual fits-all browncoat.
The buffet awaits your questioning, with fresh bao, wife soup, mangoes, hot cheese, and all the other delicacies we can manage aboard this shiny ship. The shimmerwine has just been replenished in the fountain at the aft end of the table and as always we remind you that your toes may be in danger if allowed to stray too far under the table back there.
Ice-planets are running a little low, but you'll find a few remarkable flavors still in the box - - cooler, bottom shelf.

>>Well here is the thread I've been looking for.

It sure is, and welcome aboard our shiny ship, WR_ORION. You're #48170 - - that's a lot of virtual coats taken from the locker and fitted to our newbies, but I must say you look mighty good in yours.

We like to hand out treats while you're here on the ramp: your own jug of Mudder's Milk and a punnet of the best strawberries in this sector of the 'Verae. Then stash your stuff in a rolly-cage, pocket the key, climb the airy stairs and meet some of the crew for the questioning of the buffet.

(Watch out for dripping icewater on your way up the stairs - - we've another newb who's showing the crew some tricks involving ice cubes, expanded metal surfaces, our moderate gravity, and the advantage of surprise)

Buffet's been re-stocked, the hot cheese warmed up, and more shimmerwine dumped into the fountain at the after end of the table. Watch your feet back there; the underspace may be inhabited and you'll end up in the infirmary getting shots and stitches.

For dessert, of course, an ice-planet! Choose your favorite flavor from the box in the bottom shelf of the cooler, or be brave and try something you've never heard of. It's all good.

Enjoy the company, and please join us in the captioning!

DOMOKUN1 #48182!! Welcome to the not-so-bumped newbie thread on our shiny ship. Too bad we can't sticky the post, but there you are. By now you've probably been Milked, Strawberried, and fitted with your own fits-all virtual browncoat, good in all weathers but a little heavy for swimming. We'll settle for offering fresh bao, good savory Wife Soup, more of that hot cheese, and a bye on chores for the week. If you're a good banana-nicker we could use your help at the buffet before the next rush of recruits shows up. And have an extra ice-planet on me. Persephonian Purpleberry is really good this week.
ZAC, we done did you on another thread while thanking you for not being the meanie who's trying to send our Jayne Hat knitting out past the Black.

LOL, DOMOKUN1 - - if you think you are being beaten up you should go back in time and sample Troll Country. Everyone -- well, all right, nearly everyone - - has gotten more mellow with the years, and many of the most ogreish types have drifted off into the Reaver Belt, there to be consumed or to join the crowd and start piercing their body parts and eating people.

We've had late-night wars here, and wild parties, the like of which you've never seen unless you've been shanghaied and ended up on my home planet, a place guaranteed to excite both delight and disgust.

It's where I get the ice-planets, usually.

But I digress...please enjoy your moments here. You will find some like-minded shipmates if you dig a little, put on your asbestos mask, try a thread here and there.
