What should be the "Newbie" greeting?

Many SB.COM types have utilized the "POKE" greeting, along with the various pictures that go with it. Others (like me) feel that the "poke" greeting should not be copied and pasted from SpaceBattles, but that SD.NET should come up with it's own newbie greeting. An example of an "imperial bitch-slap" picture follows, with compliments to
Pantera:
So to the poll .... Feel free to choose from among the choices, or render your own suggestions.

Why isn't there an I don't care option? Poke, choke, or bitch slap them, I don't really care to much one way or the other.

Poking of course; all of the others sound like they involve physical pain. We should reserve the "imperial bitch-slap" for people that are acting stupid.

Shouldn't that be the Imperial Smackdown?

True: a lot of the people here cut their teeth on spacebattles before discovering this oasis of logic and reason. Plus there's no shame in stealing an idea that works.

I thought that was the call to arms, not the actual punishment.

I don't care, because it's stupid, but it should be the universal greeting from Transformers: The Movie "bah-weep-granna-weep-niny-bong"

Oh, sorry.
Then I'm with the poke.
What happened to long-name-no0b who came moaning about no0b rights?

Force Lightning. It's the only attack. Besides, poking can hurt if you do it hard enough. Believe me, I know.

I say poke, because I remember using it elsewhere long before I found spacebattles.

How about butt plugging? Shove one up there until they become younglings.

Oh, a newbie greeting. That's, uh, original. And very stupid. Or something.

Hooray for Stravo! " Welcome to SD.net. Oh, here's your butt-plug, sit on it REAL hard and have a great day." Tears are litterally running down my face from laughing so hard.

Lots of poking. We don't want to physically harm the n00bs. The greeting should't be violent, only be around as an excuse to bring up the post counts of the non-newbies.

Poke or Imperial Bitch slap would be fine. But I don’t care, I'll use whatever a want to, mostly either my atomic poke or puny mortal greeting.
