I always assumed it was your lizard identity growling at the world. Disappointing to discover it's a cordial greeting.

 

[Lizards of Renown]

AAAAGH....

I can feel the clock ticking...

Don't count me out just yet! I'm still in the running!

 

[Scalenex]

You are not the only one who provided interest in providing a buzzer beating story. Don't stop people.

I'm done but have to cut it down to 2400 words, otherwise @Scalenex will use heroic killing blow on it....

Grrrrr, Imrahil

Loving the new end of message catchphrase. To me it now communicates both a loud Dutch hello and your inner Carnisaur!
