So...I'm back and stuff

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Been thinking about it for awhile, lurk here often.

While I was gone, I:

…done my share of smuggling, I’ve run my share of grass.
Made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast…

no…wait…think that was Buffet.

Hmmm…maybe I

…washed a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans

…er…actually, think that was Tina. Pretty sure I…

blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop top…

Nope. Buffet again. Crap.

Maybe I ended my legendary wrestling career and then got beat up my my daughter’s boyfriend?

Nope…that was Ric Flair.

I know…I discovered I’m a cylon, and dared Lee Adama to airlock me.

Sigh. Nope. That was Saul MF Tigh.

Coulda closed down my bar, loaded all my friends & family in a buncha school buses, and moved to Key West. But that Jake dude did that, and now he’s got Heinlein’s cat and a new bar.

Mostly, I realized that my armor ain’t been shiny in years, my noble warhorse is actually a jackass, Dulcinea came out as a lesbian, those giants I charged turned out to be windmills and knocked me flat on my ass. Yeah, yeah…Don Quixote did all that first.

Guess that means I’m Walter Mitty…but that ain’t original either.

All right, so nothing exciting or dramatic went down while I was gone.

But I did remember to stop off at the bakery and score some pie for y’all.

That cool?

Welcome back! You’ve been missed by some of us. :smiley:
You missed the Paul Simon quote…

Still crazy after all these years…

3

Hey, pie is always cool. It’s good to see someone doing it properly.

Welcome back.

4

Hell YES, that is cool. :slight_smile:

I just woke up, perused the thread topics, saw the name Oakminster and got very, very happy.

Even if you don’t know who the hell I am, welcome back my friend to the show that never ends we’re so glad you could attend…uh, Emerson, Lake & Palmer did that.
Here, put Spirit in the Sky in your head, you’ll be bouncing around all day.

5

If I listened long enough to you, I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true …
Welcome back! (And could you warm a slice of that blueberry pie and throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top? Thanks.)

6

I give this thread a rating of… :wink:

7

Aw, shucks. Thanks, folks.

There’s a few other things I didn’t do while I was gone…

  1. I did not tell Ned Pepper that I aimed to kill him in one minute, or see him hanged in Ft. Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience, even though that is very much my style.

  2. I did not pay a lot for a muffler. In fact, I didn’t even buy a muffler.

  3. I wanted to check out Scarborough Fair, but I ran out of Thyme.

  4. I did not pass out advice while on a train bound for nowhere, nor did I break even.

  5. I was unable to play Hendrix on a banjo. Alice Cooper on a dobro was right out.

  6. I didn’t hook up with a roller derby queen. Did consume a few shots and beers.

  7. I did not spend last night just trying to get right on an ounce of oregano.

  8. I did not go to L.A. via Omaha, regardless of what may or may not have happened in Jackson, MS on a Saturday Night.

  9. I drove no trains, and for that matter, I did not do any cocaine.

  10. I didn’t go to pray when they chunked Curtis Lowe in the clay.

Welcome back, though I already sadi hello in that pit thread.

I am glad you returned. Look we have a Game Room and a Barn House now. The place is growing. :smiley:

9

Welcome back! With all the Buffet quotes, maybe you can tell me who this is in the yellow shorts? (Maybe, maybe not.:cool:)

10

Afraid I do not recognize the gentleman, but the word on the street is that he put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp. Or maybe he wrote the Book of Love.

Pretty sure it’s one of those.

11

*Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.

Who’d have thought they’d lead ya (Who’d have thought they’d lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot cause we’ve got him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!*

**Oakminster **–did they tase you, bro?

Right on, good to see you back man. You’re one of the ones I was hoping might wander back in now that the walls have come down.

15

Hi, big guy. Good to have you back.

16

Sorry about the multipost. I’ve been having some problems, lately.

17

Your back!
Awesome. I have missed your viewpoints.
Can I have some pie please?

18

Thanks for all the “welcome backs”.

Pietender, this round is on me. I’m partial to the chocolate kind with the flaky crust, like they have at Picadilly Cafeteria, but please serve the others whatever they like.

19

Oakminster!! {{{tackle hug}}}

I’m so glad you’re back. . . especially since you left in a thread that I was participating in. I was hoping it wasn’t something I said. :wink:

Welcome back! :slight_smile:

ETA:

Wait. . . they pitted him already?! He just got back here. Sheesh. . . popular guy. :stuck_out_tongue:

20

Had absolutely nothing to do with you.

I’ll be taking a different tact this go-round. I plan to stick to the “safer” forums…MPSIMS, CS, IMHO, and Game Room.

GQ doesn’t need me. Y’all have plenty of lawyers there, mostly from “high dollar” firms and such. I’m a simple country lawyer.

GD–eh. I got enough discord in my life.

The Pit–Double Eh. I did make my return post there, but yelling at people on the internet ain’t gonna solve anything. Plan to stay out of that place in the future. BTW, I wasn’t the guest of honor. Joined a pile-on that was probably none of my business.
