I’ve been trying to email you for two days, and it keeps getting returned, but not until the next day. You still there? 😃

AaAaaaaaugh! And it was my thread that started the whole mess! I feel so…responsible, I guess.

::sniff::

Goodbye, mrblue. We hardly knew ye. I hereby swear that my minions and I shall avenge your death!

Looks like it’s time to turn this thread into a “Let’s Plan MrBlue92’s Memorial Service” thread.

No, that wouldn’t work. I follow you around too. We can’t be each other’s minions. 😕

I didn’t kill him! [sub]…I just beat him to a bloody pulp…[/sub] I’m yet to meet him actually.

I see lights, and a TV on over there. Shall I go pound on the door and tell him to check his email? Nah, I think i’ll finish eating these nachos instead 😃

Specifically, I have _a_ minion. I recruited Quix at OhDope.

I’m always looking for new hires, though. Flexible hours! Good benefits! Massage skills a plus.

Well, he hasn’t gotten _my_ emails, I already know that!

Go pound on his door. Tell we think he’s…nachos? Did you say nachos?

Hm. Think I’ll go pound on his door myself. After I stop at your place. 😃

Ohh, I’m sorry! Did you want some? 😃

Ah just kidding…Feel free to stop over anytime and steal some nachos

[sub]hey i’ve gotta make some friends here somehow[/sub]

Rats.

Well, I guess I’ll just sit here with my freshly-toasted pumpkin seeds, my bag of bite-sized Three Musketeers bars and my book about the history of the Catholic Church, while I wait for **TheNewbie** to go hip **mrblue** to the rumors of his untimely demise. 😃

OK, my children… can you say, “Very Vaguely Creepy”? I knew you could.

I was on the Playstation 2 with Nascar, that would be the warm glowing warming TV glow my neighbor mentions…

As for the e-mail **Persephone** , I haven’t check it since Friday, and I probably won’t look until Monday morning (it’s the work account). I’ll let you know what’s going on then…

Yes, I’m still alive. Of course this _could_ be someone else just pretending to be me. How will you ever know? :eek:

Ah good, he answered! I’ve been following this saga for quite a while now, and I’m glad there’s some closure now! I just can’t wait to see what is up with **mrblue92** ’s e-mail address…I do hope everything is okay.

Well, jesus christ. I just ordered 3 spiral-cut honeybaked hams for the after-funeral chowdown at my place. What the hell am I gonna do with them now? And these kegs? And all these flowers?

Pretty inconvenient (not to mention inconsiderate, frankly) for you to turn up alive after plans have been made.

Dammit, don’t scare us like that again young man! Do you have any idea what you put us through! If you want us to treat you like an adult, you should CALL to let us know you’re off the internet!!!

I don’t reply for three and a half hours and you’re already planning the funeral?

OK, I formally refuse to let any of you to be my doctor. You’d be declaring me dead after the first case of sniffles.

But… you can package up the hams and send them this way.

**CrankyAsAnOldMan** If you’re going to be shipping those hams to **mrblue92** you might as well send the Kegs too. I’ll just go next door and pick them up. Party at **TheNewbies**!

Hmmm…maybe I’ll fly out to MI so that I can finally meet mrblue (and get some food). Oh, and to make sure he’s really okay. Maybe I should stay with him for a while. Just to make sure. 😃
