I've been gone for a month. Did I miss anything, besides the ugly-ass design change?

A friend of mine (or maybe me) dumped a Crown and Coke on my laptop. The nice people at Dell were nice enough to fix it for me, along with giving me a new keyboard, monitor and BIOS :cool: Therefore, all internet access came by way of the Simpsonville branch of the Greenville County Library which last upgraded computers in 1997 with 8000 baud modems and has the strictest internet/computer use policy in all the land. But I digress:

What’d I miss? Any good meltdowns? Any new catchphrases I need to know about? Any super-duper threads that would change my life?

In a brilliant piece of investigation, Tuba Diva found that the so-called “1920s death ray” was really invented 2 decades earlier. Unfortunately, “19-aughts death ray” just doesn’t sound so well (nor did any of the alternatives) so we all went back to the old way.

I tell you, this board is getting sloppier every day.

Never mind what’d you miss. First things first. What’d you bring us?

Heh - as a matter of fact it was posted one month ago today so you probably haven’t seen fecetious yet.

Yeah! Where are the gifts? :smiley:

Have you seen Harvick’s 2004 paint scheme yet?

AngelicGemma, here you go:

I hear they’re looking to get the same design for the SDMB.

At least it’ll look faster.

You ruin good Crown Royal with coke? :eek: Look, next time you crack that bottle, let me know and I’ll dash on over and help you sort out the proper mixer.

There is a ‘new’ rule in the Pit: no joke threads in the Pit.

There is also a new member status ‘Suspended’, if you violate aforementioned rule. Keeps you off the board for a week.

Anyone banned during the last month? Lemme think, oh, yes DreadChthulhu for using the death-ray joke too often. Or was it for his penchant for kitten stew? I forgot.

For the rest, business as usual. And how was your month?

It’s not what you missed, but who you missed.
I know you missed me. :slight_smile:

what do y ou mean, you don’t know me?

Yeah, I was still around during the joke thread thing. And ‘Suspended’, that was Ilsa_Lund, right? Sucks about DreadChthulhu, liked him but I also saw it coming.

Sucks. I can’t find a job for shit. But thanks for asking.

misstee, of course I know ye.

Esprix and kambuckta also profited from the one-week forced absence from the board, called ‘suspension’, because of starting a joke thread. It sure made the message clear.

My dad died.

Welcome back.

Esprix

Sorry to hear that. My condolences. :frowning:

Quit teasing us!

We want to know what happened with your bastard of a friend who was cheating on his wife with a 17-year-old bimbo!

(Welcome back, and my condolences to your computer.)

Oh, fine, you missed her, but did you miss me?

Um, no. :wink:

Oh, “asshole friend” quit “cheating”. Or he said he has. And I haven’t seen anything to the contrary. So there. Short sentences rock.

Wooo hoo, I am known by Bruce_Daddy. The next time someone smacks my ass and asks me “whose your daddy” can I reply Bruce_Daddy?
please, please, please :wink:

Look at me, begging and everything

Eh, so you didn’t miss me. That’s okay; I didn’t realize you were gone.
:wink:
