Good morning
have a wonderful day
Are you, by chance, a New Girl here in the Cabaret?
Not that I have any particular reason for asking.
*whistles*

Hi, Debbie.
From the fact the rest of these reprobates keep howling and barking and sniffing at each others' tails without throwing an insult your way, I'm thinking you are indeed a New Girl rather than a returning Old Girl.
You might have been in some other social threads where people say "hi" and are all friendly when a new person pops in. This isn't one of those threads. As the current New Girl, I'm going to tell you how things work in here.
First, you have to get their attention. Me, I came in and was as obnoxious as possible right away, randomly insulting people I didn't know left and right until someone figured out I was here. That got me electrocuted, but they still ignored me, except for giving me a particularly aggressive TSA-style patdown.
Finally I hit a supermod with my insults and got shmooed. I kept it up and got shmooed again. That didn't stop me either. After another shmoo they gave in and now once in a while someone says "hello" to me. That's a big day for me here in the Cabbie.
So, don't come in here thinking anyone's going to be all "nice" and "friendly." This is a hell-hole full of vicious snarling beasts who'll rip you apart and still give you less acknowledgment than they'd give a pot roast. Hell, the only reason I'm being halfway nice is because if I can get you to stick around for at least a couple of posts maybe they'll stop calling me the New Girl.
So, if you want a bit of advice, Debbie...
Debbie?
