Help us write our "Welcome to Bitmob" message

When you first registered with Bitmob, you should've gotten an automated email welcoming you to the site. It's a little...strange:

Every time someone joins Bitmob:
  • Pac-Man ghost Blinky realizes that he loves Sue (he has anterograde amnesia).
  • An executive hits "save" on a PowerPoint presentation about resurrecting the Army Men franchise.
     
  • Will Wright has a dream about an all-robot production of Our Town set in the Star Wars universe.
     
  • Sonic and Crash Bandicoot do a chest slam into soul hug.
     
  • An angel stares into the middle distance.
Bitmob co-founder Demian Linn wrote that, possibly under the influence of...well, we don't want to know. While Demian's a fantastic writer and a super funny dude, we thought we'd rework this welcome message to be a little less freaky.
 
Comment below and give us your ideas for what we can use for those bullet points, and we'll use the best ones to welcome future Bitmobbers!
