Damn, and I hardly got to know ya. Good luck with everything. 
Dudeski… Crunchy… Friend. We never did get to talk really, together like so many other posters and I have. but we have posted together in different threads together; and I never tire of hearing your wit and humor. You will be very sorely missed here at the boards, and I wish you the best on your novel. I love to read, so I can assure you that I will buy it
have fun with whatever you do. and Please. update us with your life every once in a while?
thanks buddy.

Good luck with the novel, Crunchy. We haven’t crossed paths much, but I know if I see your name attached to a post, it’s going to be witty, well-thought out and written, and there’s about a 96.3% chance I’m going to agree with your opinions. Again, good luck, and make sure you pop in every once in a while and let us know how it’s coming!

Best of luck to you, Crunchy. I’ll miss ya.
Awww…gee, Crunchy! I’ll miss you! sad welfy eyes
You will come back, someday, right? And you WILL tell us when your novel is published…right?
and
DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!
First, I make the mistake of reading the Turner and Hooch thread just moments ago, and am still wiping the tears off my cheeks. Then I go back to see something that makes my heart stop for a second…my favorite poster is leaving!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Fresh gush of tears!!
Crunchy, you’re by far the wittiest poster on the board, IMO. I look for you first the minute I fire this sucker up every day. (No, not a joint…this computer, but hey…an idea…)
You definitely have the talent and skills to be a novelist. Of this I have no doubt whatsoever. It’s very odd that you say you are leaving to do this very thing, because the first time I ever read a few of your posts, I thought to myself, “Gawd, why isn’t this guy writing for a living???” I think you’ll do beautifully.
But I can’t begin to tell you how much I will miss seeing you here. I realize I am a new poster and all, but I have been lurking for quite a while, and your words were always the ones to make me literally laugh out loud. You have such a gift. I guess now it’s time to make use of it.
I hope to see you back one day…and possibly at that time I will no longer have my posts in the double digits. (Anything’s possible!)
Good luck. I’ll really miss ya. You’re the bomb.
/shuffles off to find more Kleenex
Kick some mad ass and take names, Crunchy.
Farewell!
I show up and suddenly people are running for the hills. “I don’t want to post anymore, cause my pussy hurts!” Well, wah!
Or is it my cologne? The lady in the Sears assured me that it covered the stench of the Waste Treatment facility admiriably. So what’s the DEAL?
Crunchy, you bastid… Dadblamit!! you can’t just post some crap like below in the Welcome Wagon and then run away! You have to give me a chance to rebutt your statement!
You indeed misunderstand. The Meaning of Life is found in the irony of just one wafer theen mint blowing yer guts across the room. How the hell can you find the Meaning in some broke down little cottage in the middle of East Dwaddlesworth or wherever the hell that frog dragged the camera man? I mean, sheeesh… But you were correct in one way: I mis-identified Cleese as the waiter when in fact he was the Master of the House. (Maitre’d, for you with froggish inclinations)
Anyway… you’ll be back… your kind always come back… maybe not soon, maybe not tomorrow, but someday. In the mean time, keep the rubber side down, always read the manuals LAST and never, ever, ask for directions.
Thirteenth pointless post and still counting. (10,000 is a LOT!)
P.S. I’m American; irony is my birthright.
You’re my favorite poster, Crunchy. I’ll miss you. Best of luck with the writing. You have a rare talent.
Don’t stay away for too long.
–Kris
Yes our kind are often noted for our come-backedness. You can tell my kind from the other, non-comingback kind by the way we’ll say “I’ll be back in a while” or “it’s just a hiatus” or some such thing as that.
Keep up the meaningless posts, that’s quite a goal you’ve set for yourself.
Note to the other Dopers: This one scares me. He’s setting off my spider-sense. Watch him, I’m not sure if his quite right in the head…
And for all of you acting like I’ve got a terminal illness or something - my email is still right there. Click that button and send me something if you want, m’kay?
The Frog croaked the welcome wagon? :eek:
Isn’t this one them there apocalyptic thingies?
I’ll miss ya, babe. Maybe I’ll follow your example and get to work on this novel of mine, too. Yours is sure to be better, though. Drop in once in awhile and inspire me.
Ah, Crunchy, I can tell you from painful personal experience that you don’t just sit down and write a novel. By the time you’re done with the first draft the characters and story have evolved so much that the first chapters and the last chapters are completely out of alignment. The second draft is spent getting everything to work together. The third draft is where you have to start cutting out stuff–and if you really mean your writing, this is a little bit like choosing which of your child’s limbs to amputate. Then you realize that Chapter 6 and Chapter 21 contradict each other, and you cut out the part that explains why the shit hits the fan in Chapter 17, and you suddenly see that a few slight modifications in Chapter 2 will make Chapter 33 pack a real punch…
(On the other hand, Frederick Forsythe supposedly started and finished The Day Of The Jackelin just over a month.)
Anyway, good luck. I’ve been giving serious thought to going bye-bye myself (once Hiro Protagonist shows up, there goes the neighborhood) so I’ll wish you farewell just in case.
awww great… I can hear property values of all the bulletin boards plummeting from here. I * knew * it was my cologne. Eau de Beeohh. Just goes to show ya, never buy cologne by the gallon. Maybe I can get my $5.95 back from Sears. I mean, it has given me a rash. And I could return the Craftsman Cologne Power Applicator, as well.
Sixteen absolutely fabulous posts and counting.
P.S. Thanks for the new sig file, Crunchy. You’re still reading this aren’t you? heh… Crunchy Lurker…
I, for one, commend you for having the strength to take a break from this place–caramel-covered crack and all that.
Still, I’m really gonna miss you while you’re gone. Lots of luck on your projects. Since I can’t get motivated, I’m gonna live vicariously!
Do me a favor–write your novel and get famous so I can have someone decent to post in the “Who Do You Know That’s Famous” threads that always pop up. Don’t worry how long it takes you–I’ll be here until I’m 80. (I don’t see myself getting a life anytime soon!)
Again, lots of luck and I hope you get much accomplished. Just remember–if you get writer’s block at 3am–I’m always up, feel free to call! 
I haven’t been here long, but I have been here long enough to know the wit and brilliance of Crunchy Frog.
I’m gonna miss you man.
gives Crunchy Frog the salute the The Shoveler gave to Captain Amazing in Mystery Men
(because that’s the coolest salute I’ve ever seen in my life, and thus far only you have been worthy of it.)
Take care.
hmmm. i lurked for a while before i ever posted, and really love your posts, crunchy. hate to see you go!! (and i really really think you’re so cute!!)
You go now, Crunchy Frog, for after all we are born to follow our dreams and our hearts. Bitter sadness, though, is sweetened with the knowing, the absolute knowing, that one day you will return.
I’m from New Zealand. You Yanks’ll have to let this poor foreigner know when the book’s out – it’ll be a must have.
A bientot, Crunchy Frog. Take care, and stay safe.
Hurry back, damn it! I’ll proof read your damn novel for you if it would speed up your return to the board.
Good luck, I’ll miss having you around.
