It doesnā€™t ā€œshine dimly;ā€ itā€™s probably not on at all. Thatā€™s my point, and thatā€™s why slinking back is so hard. No one throws you the parade of welcome that you imagine is your due. The true irony here is that my post was meant to signify that I can identify with you. I too have declared that Iā€™m _leaving_ and I _may not be back_ (though not as rudely as you), only to find that I later had to admit that I, um . . . well . . . [sub]changed my mind.[/sub] Go or stay; I assure you I personally donā€™t give a ratā€™s ass. You might even have something meaningful to contribute, once you get that little problem of verb confusion straightened out. Though at this point Iā€™m not holding my breath. Oh, and itā€™s Duke all the way. šŸ˜ƒ ---

When are yā€™all going to start talking about ME again? Just like the SD folks to twist a thread for their own selfish needs.Itā€™s just a few days before your ISP shuts your sorry aases down for past due bills.

The only thing you have in common with peace is that neither of you capitalized your name on signing up. ---

Donā€™t feel bad, Lynn. You like video games, so youā€™re automatically better than any of your riff-raff co-Admins or Mods. Except Alphagene, but thatā€™s only because heā€™s got a concussion rifle built into his armā€¦ ---

It didnā€™t look good, what with Duke being down by, what, 20 points or something? But they came back. Thatā€™s good because I have a cap from a Mountain Dew bottle that earns me $10 if Duke wins it all. ---
