Welcome to talk.bizarre.  I am you air hostess, Margaux Hemmingway.
(no relation).  At this time We'd like to help familiarize you with
some of the accomodations onboard this newsgroup.

This newsgroup is equipped with clever witticisms, odd yet intriguing
conversation, startling prose, and crap.  There are several flavors of
crap, but I'm sure you'll come to know them all by heart.  Try to get
by the crap as best you can.

During your initial boarding you will be pelted with pig bladders, 
wielded by some people who are going to claim to be Important People
on talk.bizarre, whom you must toady to in order to become Popular.

They are, by and large, lying like bad throw rugs.  Personally, I'd throw
a fish at them, but I do not have enough fish to do a really good
job of it.

As far as the rest goes, you will be judged by what you have to say,
how you say it, and whether or not you can keep from acting like
a total git.

Have Fun.
