Dear **Cecil, Ed, Tuba, CKDex, Lynn:**

The whole thing with **Eutychus55** was just a diversion, right?

You got us all looking towards Rhode Island and wringing our hands with concern and warm feelings for **Euty,** while the REAL shit was going down in Toledo.

**UncleBeer** has been missing for days. DAYS. Since the holidays, at least.

You killed him, right? He did something wrong, something HORRIBLY WRONG, moved a MPSIMS thread to GQ or something, an innocent mistake, and you sneaked into his home at midnight and throttled him in his sleep, didn’t you?

Where’s the body? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE BODY? Did you cut him up and mail the bits all over the country? Did you weight him down and sink him in Lake Okeechobee? Did you take up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposit all between the scantlings?

You didn’t…eat him, did you?

( **waterj2** was right…this Forum needs some livening up. Consider the above my little contribution.)

All right. I confess. I kidnapped him.

I’m keeping him here in New Jersey as a combination houseboy/love slave. My computer is password-protected so he hasn’t been able to log on and post a plea for rescue.

I’ll bring him to the dopefest this weekend. I promise.

He’s not dead.

He’s pumping gas in Paskatula with Elvis.

Last I heard, he was on the afternoon shift.

Yer welcome.

Actually, I believe he’s had some computer problems. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

Naw, nothing like that. The simple fact is that he got drunk.

Unfortunately for him, he got drunk in that Douglas Adams’ glass of water kind of way. He was delicious, and he slaked all our thirsts.

He’ll be back in a few days under his new moniker, **UnclePee**.

Damn, _good one_, Manny!  
I was gonna claim we kidnapped him for re-programming as a flaming liberal, but that just can’t compete with “Uncle Pee”.

Yeah, yuk it up, you two, while you can. Any one of you could be next. Although I’ve got a five-spot that says it’ll be that **Winkelried** fella.

Y’know, **manny’s** explanation is pretty darned convincing. **Unc** was tall. He was cool. Some might even have found him refreshing.

And, **beatle,** if you’ve got nothing better to do than engage in that sort of ridiculous conjecture…

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and put my head into this bucket so I can laugh heartily at “ **UnclePee** ” without breaking character.

So that would be **UnclePee & Noodles** …which would be a hell of a good band name.

I heard that he and his sister, **AuntieGin** , both went down to Florida to visit their father **GrampappyZima** and his new girlfriend, **AnnaNicoleSmith**. He should be back in a few days, after making one stop on the way home to see his mistress, **Booziebabe**.

Chill, people.

UnclePee! :D:D:D **manhattan** , you’ve once again outdone yourself.

Thank you for your concern **Ukulele Ike** , old pal. I’m still alive too, but starting a new job has cut into my SDMB time (still trying to create that crucial good first impression). It is to be hoped that the new DSL line scheduled to arrive at my house in the next few weeks will allow me for more productive and fruitful visits here.
