[QUOTE=EJsGirl] I was going to post about **Ayesha**. This July 29th just won’t be the same. And we lost her mom **Mimi** a while back, too. ☹ [/QUOTE] Holy cow. I never heard about that. What happened? I always loved her posts. ---

I hate to say this, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but **David Simmmons** has not posted in some time. Has anyone heard from him IRL? ---

[QUOTE=twickster] There was a guy up in the PNW somewhere, my age – and I can’t think of his name and it’s driving me crazy. It had “elf” in it, but “elf” was a reference to the German word for “eleven,” not to the spritely creature. Anyway, he died sometime fairly recently. [/QUOTE] That would probably be [marque elf](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=424654). ---
