So what’s up all? I think its been over a month or two now, so I’ve decided to come back and see what’s up.

I did notice the new look… kinda spiffy if you ask me.

other than that, what’s new?

CowGod!!! Woohoo! Good to have you back.

Right now, we’re having a very bad troll infestation in the Pit. And we’re still a little buzzed from the warm welcome Cecil Himself gave a few of us. Very cool.

How’s it going? Gonna stay? 😃

First of all, you missed the crush threads. I am feeling particularly lazy at the moment, so you can search for “Crush” on the subject thread. IIRC, you did quite well on them.

Secondly, you missed the Wally sig thread, which lead to a rash of knock-offs, including phouka’s determination that I should canonize the entire board.

Thirdly, you missed all the end of the semester posts from myself, begging help from anyone and everyone.

And a lot of Elian threads. But you didn’t really miss much there.

Welcome back!

Cowgod!! Glad you’re back. Hope you’ll stay.

Check out the Crush thread - I think there’s something in there for you. No need to thank me. (Wait, that didn’t come out right. Just read the thread, it’ll make more sense.)

Notthemama is having a _fun_ time with the anti-Notthemama’s. Hop in in.

New look, new software, no crashes - YEA!

Oh, the same old pissin’ matches, personalities and group therapy…

Welcome BACK, oh bovine deity! It seems like fer heifer since you’ve been here; we’ve be udderly bereft, Angus-ridden without you, but Charloise you’ll stay around this time. Glad you were steered back into the herd, you horny little doggie.

::pauses reflectively, scraps cow flop off of shoes::

In other words (abandoning cow jokes), it was the usual sturm und drang, with more screeching, drumrolls, simulated lightning and over-the-top drama than most Wagnerian operas.

Briefly, you aren’t out nothin’ by opting for a popcorn break during the brouhaha.

But golDANGED if I ain’t glad to see you back.

Why, I’m so glad to see ya excited that I’m back. But don’t get your hopes up too high, I probably won’t be sticking around very long. I’ll probably be posting up until summer break (which isn’t until June). I figured I better come by to see what the crew was up to before I become a zombie summer slave.

And yes, I did check the Crush page, and the Favorite poster threads… and I guess I never realized I made such an impact on you guys. Must be my irresistable charm, or my personality, or that the name Cow God is just too damn hard to get out of your heads.

I don’t remember getting any emails from girls from this board professing their admiration of me, but of course, I get those all the time from these cincy chicks that I must have just passed it over without noticing it… yeeah, riiiight.

Oh, sure, forget about me - I opened a thread about a week ago when you first poked your head back in announcing your great return, and here you are posting a whole brand new thread. ☹

Fine. I don’t think you’re cute anymore. Nyeh.

(But welcome back anyway. Double nyeh.)

I did? How so? I haven’t checked this site up until two days ago. Maybe it was an imposter! Or maybe switching to this new board made a couple old threads pop up to the top… or maybe its those evil nazi groundhogs! (I’m told that they are a devious bunch)
