...well, first off, welcome.
But, uh, back to my original thought! Out of curiosity, why did you change your selected handle mid-thread? That's bound to confuse people, and not just people like me who've been out of the loop a bit too long.

I deduce that you are a fairly lazy person. You should prepare to fit right in. (With me, in any case)

Or, considering that I'm extremely late in this little hello, you should have prepared to have been fitted in by now.

Or something.

SO YEAH. Welcome to the club, Mr. Button. Have a scarf. It's hand knitted out of electric blue yak wool and it's about three feet too long for you. Enjoy it, and hopefully being here. Ciao!

Welcome to the PPC Posting Board! Here, have some chocolate, and enjoy your stay!

Here, have a DRAMATIC LONGCOAT! They're often found in anime continuums. Even if there's no wind, the DRAMATIC LONGCOAT will flutter DRAMATICALLY!

Have a special orange.

Hello! Have a seventeen foot long, multicolored, wool, knit scarf (curly wig not included), and a bag of jelly babies.

Please use them IRresponsibly!

Now a Disclaimer: You do not have to read these things (except the Board Constitution). You do not have to write to be a part of the PPC. Some active and respected PPCer's have never been to the wiki, and quite a few very active and respected PPCer's have not and never plan to write missions. That said, many people have found these things to be useful and/or to answer a lot of the questions that often come up.

Welcome, new friend! Have a Benjamin Button. It starts out old and dirty, but gets newer and shinier with age. Then it turns into unmolded plastic.

Here, have a conical hat! It's made from tin foil and duct tape. It keeps the conspiracy theorists out.

made out of two axes strapped together with USB cables.

Fair winds!

How did you stumble into the PPC here, anyway?

Please enjoy this Floating Skull™. It gives your bedroom an air of evilness and can be also used to open cans thanks to its hidden can opener. Regretfully, the can opener is so well hidden that I don't know where it is.

Have this polka-dotted rock.

Have some fudge!

Have a toothbrush and tube of acid toothpaste! (Best used on Sues only.)
