What happened to Eve?

No, no no.

It is “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” and “All About Eve.”  
They are different.

Second Collounsbury. He knew his shit and did not suffer fools gladly. Someone mentioned he had a battle with cancer and I hope he either eviscerated it like a fencing master or left a good looking corpse.

I miss **Ben**. He was a treat and a half in evolution threads.

[QUOTE=scotandrsn]  
And **SentientMeat** has posted to a couple of threads within the last 10 days.  
You’d think that as long as we go to the trouble of missing them, some of these dear departed posters would respect that by actually leaving! Sheesh!

Yeah, I miss both of those as well as other British Dopers like **everton**. L\_C used to post over on NADS (the unofficial European spinoff board - set up by **jjimm** - that I used to run) but I left there ages ago and ain’t really kept up with things.

I’ll also ditto **Shodan** with **december**. He sure as hell made this place interesting.
