Methinks someone’s only got an electric motor on his bass boat, if’n you get my drift. ---

Oh, my. It would seem I’ve become quite the pariah in your little virtual sandbox. I haven’t quite decided how I feel about that… so I’ll just sit back and enjoy the show. For now. ---

Are we supposed to sit here with baited breath, awaiting your truimphant return when you shall magically astound us with your wit and supremecy? That’s the tactic of a small child. “It didn’t hurt! Nu-uh! You’re rubber I’m glue!” I’ll be over here… not giving a fuck. ---

And maybe I’m alone here (I don’t think so, but hey, let’s give the new guy the benefit of the doubt), but I don’t think too many people would give a flying fuck about your absence. ---

I was reminded, by this thread, of one of the [Greatest Flames Ever.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=88031#post88031) Certainly an applicable one. ---
