Welcome to The Rent A Child

[Kevy Baby]

A hearty welcome to our newest member: The Rent A Child. A good number of the So Cal Natives and a few out-of-towners have met her before - she sometimes accompanies Susan and I to the park or other swankin' events.

So, welcome to The RAC

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Welcome Rent A Child!

With that screenname we should be having a large influx of Catholic Priests. ;)

We've already got a pope and a cardinal!

Welcome Therac! For once, we don't have to warn a new member to stay far away from Kevy. She's already well aware of that advice.

[tracilicious]

Welcome!

[flippyshark]

Is there a story behind this intriguing screenname? (Well, surely there is, what I really mean to ask is, will you share with us the story behind your screenname?)

Of course, once I've opened that can of worms, I have to admit that I have the same curiosity about many of the names folks go by around here, but that would have to be a different thread.

Welcome!

[Disneyphile]

Oh my. She's all grown up now! :eek:

[Not Afraid]

Hey you! Welcome to LoT!

[Motorboat Cruiser]

Official greetings from the Pope.

Welcome!

Now, what's this about renting a child?

ETA: Nevermind, I see that GD provided some much needed backstory. I'll alert the priests that there is nothing to see here.

[lashbear]

Welcome !!

I need a rent-a-child so they will let me on the Pteradon Flyers at Islands Of Adventure !!! :(

[katiesue]

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Welcome!

[€uroMeinke]

Cool - Did someone approve her yet?

[CoasterMatt]

Just get there at opening, they're usually pretty cool - That's how I snagged that credit without borrowing a kid :D

[CoasterMatt]

Welcome The Rent A Child!

Sometimes people think that I'm the same person as Kevy Baby - this is NOT true (he's a bit older, but looks better in a dress)

[Ghoulish Delight]

Cool - Did someone approve her yet? Yup. Fearing your spam-bot fueled itchy trigger finger, I approved her when I saw the screen name.

And, since MBC called me out for having written an explanation and deleted it (on second thought I figured I'd give those actually involved a chance to explain it), the screen name has to do with The RAC's parents being close friends of Kevy/Gus Gus thus leading to Kevy and Gus Gus acting as chaperone/chauffeur/surrugate parent on many and outing. Thus, being DINKs, they've adopted her as their Rent-A-Child.

Of course, she's no longer a child. I'm not sure if that make it more or less dangerous to be around Kevy.

[Kevy Baby]

Well, GD explained it much better than I ever could - thank you!

The RACk and GusGus were busy cleaning house today (I love when she comes to stay) so she hasn't had a chance to post yet.

[wendybeth]

Welcome, RAC!!!

[Babette]

Welcome RACk - it will be nice to see the virtual you, too.

[Prudence]

I just want to point out that the title of this thread scans to "Camptown ladies sing this song". Now, whenever the RAC posts, I'm going to mentally be singing "doo-dah".

[lashbear]

Welcome to the Rent-A-Child, Doo-Dah, Doo-Dah,
We hope your posting's really wild, Oh, the Doo-Dah Day.

Gonna post all night,
Gonna post all day,

I bet my money that you'll have a ball
here in a LoT kind of way.

[CoasterMatt]

What in the wide world of sports is goin' on here?!?

[lashbear]

It's turning into the "Link The Username To A Song That Scans" thread !!

I know....

Why did you post that?
Why did I listen to it?
Why ask why?

Why ask why?I'm asking myself why I listened to that after this warning.

Now, I need therapy. :(

Welcome RAC!

[Moonliner]

Hummm...

In most cases people at least post a "Thanks" type message before they get scared off for good. Oh well. It was nice to almost meed you "The Rent A Child".

[Kevy Baby]

GusGus has hikacked her over the last few days at our home for some MUCH needed cleaning. The one time she logged in to read and post, we had some network problems (I hate when you have a network problem that just suddenly goes away - while I am glad it is gone, I wanna know what the damn problem was).

[€uroMeinke]

I checked to male sure I didn't delete her

You could at least sing "doo-dah, doo-dah" very softly when she walks by...
