My dear, kind Lobsang– Thank you for your understanding. See, when you’re stuck in the midwest, you don’t get much exposure to different accents outside the regular regional ones in the States.
Sound absolutely heavenly, if you ask me. Man, I told him I should have moved over there instead of vice versa. Alas, he was certain I would go crazy in such a small town as Gretna. Sigh.
Dammit, I really must learn to preview. Anyhoo, you’re fighting my ignorance right now (not an easy task, I might say). “Nothing useful to add.” BAH!
Hey there are some fun posts on the SDMB. I just started one.
Well it might be a little late for Lobsang to join in but maybe in the morning he can add to this thread:
I hope I don’t anger the mods too much with the topic - but it’s fun.
With a title like “Topics you KNOW the mods will shut down fast” I know I’m running a risk - but I like to have fun.
Maybe it wil stay open long enough for Lobsang to post to it.
Hell, Lobsang, you can’t go! I love your mini (and maxi) rants in the Pit. I don’t even know what I’d do if I didn’t see your name below several threads each week. You’re one of my pet SDMB “staples”.
There’s no one here that isn’t smarter than me, but I stick around. True, I’ve never started a thread, and do more drive-bys than most Crip members, but hey…I never planned on being “productive” here! I just like to read and learn! YOU are one of those people I read and learn from, whether you realize it or not.
If you feel you need a break, by all means, take it. But definitely come back. You are one Charter Member I’d rather not do without, if it’s all the same to you.
I hope you will reconsider. I enjoy reading your posts. Plus, for some reason my brain shorts out every time I read “Isle of Man” under your name and I think of Easter Island instead and picture you sitting amongst the giant stone heads of Easter Island happily typing away on your laptop.
Stupid, yes, but it makes me laugh. Or at least giggle for about 2 seconds until the rational side of my brain kicks in and informs me that I’m an idiot. 
It occurs to me now that I do derrive fun from this place. It’s fun to rattle off a few philosophical (or anecdotal) threads before bed and then check the replies the next day.
My boredem with the place mentioned in the op is probably due to having too much spare time to browse it at work. It is an amazing place but by browsing it all day every (work) day I am asking too much of it.
I have already said this in the thread but I’ll say it again - I’ll stick around. I get alot here by asking for information so I shouldn’t feel pointless by not being able to provide information.
[sub]P.S. This is one of those times when an edit feature would be useful (I’d add “(edit: not leaving)” to the title)[/sub]
Lobsang
Thanks for visiting the thread I started. See? This board has a WIDE variety of topics with an equally diverse membership.
That quote you posted about the duck - it is from “In the Line of Fire” with Clint Eastwood and it is spoken by John Malkovich. Nicely-placed relevant quote in your reply.
I’m glad you’re going to stay; I pretty much always click on your threads (although I may not always reply). You’re one of the first people I argued with on here.
Sorry for bumping this thread but I wanted to let you know I appreciate you.
You suck! Go away!
Ok I don’t mean it be this is the SDMB. It can’t be unanimous. It just wouldn’t be right
replace be with but. :smack:
Don’t worry about it. I just figured you were from Belgium.
Hey, that kinda stuff isn’t legal in Georgia.
I, for one, make a point of reading your posts, Lobsang. Take a break if you need one, but don’t heave off permanent, like. We need more posters like you.
I took a couple week break a couple months back. It did me good. I recomend it.
Isn’t the isle of Man the place all the corporations hide their earnings? A Caymen of the North?
Yep. Offshore this, offshore that, offshore the other.
Admit it, already!
Everything is offshore when you’re an Island!
Huh!? Man IS an island! How about that?
If you want to leave- then leave . :dubious: But don’t do it on my account.
This is because I dropped you from my sig isn’t it? Well, I’m sorry. I needed a change. 
Seriously, you’re awesome. Just take a break like many others here have suggested.
Rooves, that “Trading Mud Huts” thing made me laugh too much.
I was in your sig??
