Heya, Ogre. How’s geology tricks?
(NCB: higher temp means less shrinkage…)
This is the Dope. You’re supposed to say “WELL, I’m back,” thereby incorporating a LOTR reference into your return.
Welcome back, Punha. I still remember you.
Oh, by the way, let me be the first to say
:: previews just to make sure ::
Did you bring pie?
Yep, Punha, I know you were a good Pit Warrior, with much to say, but, to my eyes lately, it’s more than a tad Weary, same ol’ ego tussles and fray,and kinda dull, of late. You enter with your entire good arsenal beyond mine, so, don’t count my observation as a discouragement at all: make it all anew!
Welcome back, with comeback sauce, cher!
Nurgledy-hoo? I was one of the reasons?
Me-hein? (Those are “Huh?”, only more inventive.)
Sorry you didn’t get your money’s worth this past year:) (I realized shortly after I posted that I was only gone for a year and change.)
NCB: Well, someone was bound to ask, and it’s a thing as good to answer now as at any other time. Fizzy and I were engaged from 2002 to 2004, at which point we elected not to go down the road one usually goes down if one is an engaged couple.
So she moved out a few months later, and her travails since then have been many and varied. Anyone wanting more information on that aspect of my life is welcome to e-mail me.
And Guin, love, having seen me on livejournal lo these many years, if you forget me, there’s summat [sub]else;)[/sub] wrong with you:)
I am forced to conclude, ETF, darling horse enthusiast, that one of the two things is the case:
-
Ain’t nothing wittier been said on these here boards from that day to this;
-
Something else. Possibly involving a goat.
I’m goin’ with #2, myself.
lessee, what’s changed since you’ve been gone?
Skippy is a mod. Handy imploded. Someone’s cat died. And some blockbuster movie sucked.
I think that about covers it.
Ah, missed your post. Didn’t mean to open a can of wormwood with that question. Sorry. But, all is well, yes?
See, I was thinking to myself, “Self, do I want to go the route of doing 85 different pop culture references or none?”
Eighty-five woulda taken entirely too long. Plus I didn’t want to almost run out and have to settle for some incredibly pathetic Napoleon Dynamite reference.
NCB: Saw Skip as mod back in the day (I don’t know if I was still a charter member when it went down, but I remember seeing it.) handy leaving was during my time, I think.
And that movie ::checks and makes sure he isn’t in the Pit:: really wasn’t very good.
[sub]At this rate, my post count will be 15K before tomorrow.[/sub]
When you come back, you’re supposed to…you know…bring stuff!
How ya doin’, kiddo? Glad you’re back!
Many thanks to “them whut wuz the Good Samaritan.”
Hey, no worries. Y’ain’t know, y’know? 's like asking how someone’s family is and finding out there was a divorce or summat.
Pie, I believe. When come back, bring pie. The kids around here still using that line?
(I brought posts. A lot. I hear stuff about being a fencesitter enough to bring my own kit wherever I go.)
WELCOME BACK IAMPUNHA!
You were missed - now start streaking again. That’s a mod order.
Holy mother of God! NCB, you flea-bitten dog, you inadequately informed me!
…
wait.
I took advice from a self-professed clueless lout?
:wally* ;)**
::does desultory nekkid lap, praising IPU that the heat is a bit higher than it was an hour ago::
*At myself.
**At NCB.
You’ve been gone for two years? How is that possible? I remember you, and I’ve only been reading for about two years. Something seems amiss…
Anyway, :: runs through thread nekkid and waves ::
Welcome back, pun!
I remember looking at a photo of you and finding you to be [blush] extraordinarily handsome [end o’ blush].
Welcome home!
Right on!
Cite?!
I’m saying! Where is this picture, and why has nobody told ME about it?!
(Strinka: I think it was actually a year and change. I think I was still in such shock from that e-mail that I misremembered a thing or three.)
There is no freaking way it has been 2 years. 6 months, maybe. But 2 years? Nah.
Indeed! I thought you were very kind and intelligent and was persuaded to hang out here more often. Now it’s taken over my life. Damn you!
You should be! But somehow, I muddled through.
