The other day, **Dex** had a near-death experience, and saw God. God told **Dex** that he, God, was merely keeping the throne warm for **Dex**.

Dex went into the Marianas Trench once. In 1960. But only for 20 minutes.

Seriously though, we have interacted for many years and while we disagree on topics at least he is open and honest.

Yes. But **Dex** has a number of robots that can impersonate him when such occasions occur.

Gawrsh, folks, thanks for the kind words. Contrary to the opinions expressed hereinabove, I do NOT wear my red-briefs on top of my blue tights.

Reality: We were helping our daughter and family move, they bought a fixer-upper house and haven’t yet connected phone, cable, internet, etc. So we spent most of the days for the last coupla weeks without any internet connection. (My wife and I watched the babies so our daughter and son-in-law could work. Great division of labor.) When we were at their apt, we also spent lots of time playing with babies so daughter and s-in-law could pack, clean, live, etc. My limited online time was spent on my personal life, and my very limited SD time was spent sorting Cecil’s mail, so I haven’t been on the boards (or seen my SD-email) for a while.

This was purely coincidental to the Game Room kerfuffle. But back now, tryin’ to catch up.

Lessee, having people around you that need tending and that occasionally pee and poop and throw up on you.

Don’t see much of a difference 😃

I once was asked to baby sit for a friend. **Dex** took care of it so I didn’t need to deal with a baby.

Shouldn’t this post be in a Cafe Society thread? Maybe [Lazy Meals](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=735601)? If only I could think of the name of a mod to move it. Any suggestions?
