All of my numerous previous mentees can attest that my attrition rate is perfectly reasonable.

Reminds me of an old Cheech & Chong skit off their debut album:

All you have to do is sign the papers.
What do the papers say?
That you weren't mistreated in any way.
But, I can't sign the papers.
Why!? Why can you not sign the papers!?
Because....both of my hands are broken.

But just think, you too could spend your day just like him, sat in your litter tray playing with your nuts.

Nah, he is old and bitter and hopefully not noting anything I'm saying in this thread. I'd rather be fishing with a legal pad and pen next to me.

Now we have mods hijacking the threads, too. Remember when this thread was about the great job Kitty has done? If she wanted mindless drivel, she would take on more Love Lads. Congrats and well-deserved!

Now I am going into hiding. I hear the jackboots!

You (collective plural) do?

That was the point of acknowledging B8er's post covertly, so as to not hijack it...then he (she?) threw down the 'you're a gerbil if you don't' gauntlet.

Can't resist them, those gauntlets....well, except when I do, and then I say nothing.

Lots of "de" words lately. Seems "defensive" is appropriate!

Oh yeah, Kitty and Duckling, congrats to both of you!

I sent Kitty a PM with a link to this thread yesterday morning. It's still in my outbox. I'm not sure if she would now be happier not seeing this thread after all. Wink

I think she would. Very Happy

Does anyone else have a congratulatory, random and occasionally odd thread dedicated to them?

Congratulations Kitty. Take your time, we are v-e-r-y patient! Smile

OMIGOSH!!!

See, I take one day off to travel, and all heck breaks loose in here Razz

WOW!! Everyone, thank you so much. I am thrilled, delighted, so incredibly grateful to Duckling, and I truly apologize for arriving late to the party.

This has been such an amazing and fun ride so far, and I have already explained to Duckling that I'm well past the phase of taking small "first one is free" lad baits, and I am now a full blown addict. Thank you very much.

Now I get to go back and read carefully the posts in this thread, and try to figure out all the inside scoop items! Duckling has already told me about some of the initiation rites I will need to go through, and while I am still confused about the watermelon on my head, I am absolutely ready to begin.

Again, apologies for jumping in so late. Who knew the travel on Fathers Day Weekend / Graduation Weekend would result in a 6 hour delay? Rolling Eyes

Note to self: next time, don't check the laptop in the main luggage.

I SO appreciate this community. You are all wonderful!!!

Well, I was about to come to this thread to coin a fancy new abbreviation DWSTNAA, as in Damn, we scared the noob away again, but I guess now I'll have to go with DKYWSTTATM as in Damn, Kitty, you weren't supposed to tell them about the melon.

And what does OMIGOSH stand for anyway? Now I'm confused beyond belief. I can't find it in the list of abbreviations anywhere.

I was going to say something about the watermelon ritual, but it really wasn't that funny and then I thought SQUIRREL! so decided against even making this post that I'm making.

^^^Noting that on my list of "things to investigate" - this ubiquitous 'squirrel' fascination among the community.....

Always kind words in these mentee graduation threads.
But do I detect a hint of desperation or jealousy?

Relax. Go with it. Accept the fact that you are stuck on my mentee list forever.

I'm after a 10 year sandtimer icon and if I can't get one from a lad, a mentee will have to do. Twisted Evil

^^^I'll give you the same advice I give new members when they tell me they've ended up with JC as their mentor - resign and reapply
