Since I have no experience in posting a vanity, I can only hope that I have done this right?

OPUS OPUS OPUS!

This post promises to eventually have everything... except a ping. Or not. As the case might be.

[tcat]

I am going to save that if I ever decide to post again. I really am the shy type and don’t like to wast anyone’s time.

Uh, Howdy was a puppet?!

[Cyber Liberty]

I don’t think there is a correct way to post a one-line vanity in the News forum, but you seemed to have pulled it off. Congratulations.

[tcat]

Yes, Howdy was a puppet and looked... Maybe you are right! Howdy Doody used a puppet on his knee. Maybe someone with more experience could post pictures.

Surely you overlooked "looser".

Love the laughs ! He caught on quick !! I am going to save that if I ever decide to post again. I really am the shy type and don’t like to wast anyone’s time.

I forgot “bone-blowin’ bucket of sh&t!”

Not enough f-'n profanity, dammit.

And you've been here 8 months longer than me, so call me a n00b...

Wow, you've been here for 14 years and you're still shy? Well, fear no more! Posting is easy.

There are some useful threads you can check out, that will give you hints on simple formatting tricks like BOLDING, up to things like including images like this:

and even fancier stuff like making links to other pages!

Here's some help with HTML (the language of the posted webpages):

I think he looks separated at birth with Roger Goodell, NFL commissioner.

The good news is you got it right, I mean the posting of the vanity. The bad news is your post is pointless.

[frankenMonkey]

I believe number 4 is for you...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I highly commend you for so thoroughly torturing the English language in your title. That will, naturally, bring out the language police in force. Mighty clever of you to deploy this stratagem to collect hits, I must say.
