Hope not. Can’t access Nickrz’ post (“My job here is done”). Follow-up, anyone? ---

Ohmygod. After you said that, I went back and looked at some of his old posts. If you take the 1st, 3rd, 15th, and 22nd letters from his past 50 posts, you get a mishmash and, after eliminating several letters, the rest could be rearranged to spell “turn me on dead walrus” fortelling his departure from the board. As his name is still on the top listing him as moderator of this board and the board had some technical problems, I think the job that is “done” is reviving GQ. As you can’t access his post, obviously it’s not _quite_ done. ---

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Thanks for your concern, but you can’t get rid of me that easily 🙂 ---

I told you guys I don’t take checks. If you want Nickrz to have an “accident” I want the cash up front. The WHOLE $22, no Canadian money. ---

But even when everyone chipped in as much as they could, we only came up with $21.67, two mints, a button and some Canadian pennies. * * * “It’s _bacon_!!” ---

Are the mints new and in the original wrapper? ---

Hey, I’ll throw in a tin of Altoids. (No hole punched in the lid, either.) ---

Can we arrange at least an exchange program to the BBQ pit?slythe? ---

Nicky, the Altoids aren’t for YOU. Besides, Altoids are for wimps. Real men use Fisherman’s Friend, original flavor.
