No, no you can’t leave us now. Damn you for looking so good [in your tuxedo](http://home.att.net/~jskellogg/lynda/linda28.htm). How can we bear to go on without [your handsome good looks](http://home.att.net/~jskellogg/proofs/album/page1/alb-018.htm) [sub] he’s the one on the left [/sub] Sob Why for the love of God why?

Hey, **Crunchy** , Will you wear _the jacket_ at your book-signing engagements? [sub]_I am NOT taunting the jacket. Repeat: I am NOT taunting the jacket._[/sub]😉 –Kris ---

**Mermaid** , sweetie, couldn’t you have linked to pix of me at the People Pages instead of those? I can’t stand those pix from ym sister’s wedding - they were taken only a few weeks after I’d quit drinking and drugs and I look like crap. I only posted them as proof that I didn’t wear that nasty tux throughout the entire ceremony. And **Tabithina** - I doubt I’d wear that jacket anywhere in public. The reception doesn’t count cuz that was all family and friends anyway. And you know I still can’t see your name without thinking of that stupid song? _Taaaaabithina A cool newbie posting to the boards…_ 😉 ---

Hey! I thought you were leaving?? Go already! Damn. -Silver Fire, who thinks this was all a scam to get attention. (And we say Jack Batty’s the attention whore around here. :rolleyes: Look out Jack! You may have met your match!) You know I’m kidding, Crunchy. Got nothin’ but love for ya. Do your thang, boy. (I have been quoting rap songs left and right today. (We won’t mention up-side-down (is that really hyphenated?) or sideways. 😃 )) Wow, I just used a whole lotta parentheses in that last sentence. Okay, I’m leaving now. (Not the boards. Even if I _was_ leaving, I wouldn’t start a big, tearful “Oh, look at me! I’m leaving!” goodbye thread. Attention whore.) Woo! ---

Damn, I should have started my own thread first. Anyhoo, I’m with you in spirit **Monssieur Frog**. I too have felt the pressures of the real world curtailing my time here. With any luck, we’ll both get our individual poop together and come back with a vengance. Later. ---

You will be missed, I think. Hey, will you publish under the name “Crunchy Frog,” or will you use some clever nom de plume, like “Lark’s Vomit” or “Throatwobbler Mangrove?” I’m buying my copies in hardback – we’ve got to support the SDMB legends. Best of luck. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Clucky \* > \*\ ***Crunchy** , in your honor, I am going to fly my flag at half-mast. That is, if I had a flag.

I leave for two weeks and you people let **Froggy** get away??? What is WRONG with you all!? Do I HAVE to sit here at my computer every minute to make sure things run smoothly?? I’m disgusted. Novel schmovel. Who will flirt with me now?? ::walks off wailing and gnashing teeth:: ---
