Where has Skald run off to?

[CapnPitt]

Am I the only one that always reads his name as “Skald the Rhymer, but Don’t Kill the Messenger”?

[TriPolar]

Do we have a way to be sure this is the real Skald returning? Maybe this is one from an alternate universe that has a beard, or doesn’t, depending on what the original looked like. I suggest we use caution in dealing with this evil version, or good version, depending on which one he used to be.

You guys, something’s wrong with Skald. He’s saying some really weird stuff.

I think… I think he wants to have sex with me!

[Senegoid]

And he’s back to posting elaborate convoluted hypotheticals with “What would you do?” polls, in case anyone here hasn’t noticed yet.

Yep, looks like the real Skald!

Hey, TriPolar, how ya feeling? Want a piece of Turkish Delight?

Dearest one, you forget that you are (a) on the Short List, and (b) a chick, and thus protected by the sexist no-hitting-girls rule.

Well, it doesn’t seem to have harmed TriPolar…

Not before, but every single time now, thanks for that.

Just watch out if he claims there’s more in his castle.

Sorry.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Hey, Skald, welcome back! Good to have you return - hope it’s to stay.

And jeez, 113 posts and not a single mention of Natalie Portman as the reason for your absence? What are these people thinking…?

[TriPolar]

@WhyNot

Yep, looks like the real Skald!

I’m not so sure. He uses a conventional weapon, some minor discomfort instead of actual torture, no supernatural forces at all (unless the medical minions are magically enthralled somehow), and just now I fished my wallet out of the river and all the cash is still in it.

[wevets]

Well, those medical minions did have to be summoned . . .
. . . FROM HELL!

[sub]No, really, Hell has some very good medical schools. And little problem with the graduates emigrating.[/sub]

And I’m not even a newt. I do feel a compelling urge to offer you up to 15% off on your car insurance, though…

So what I’m hearing here is that you’re complaining about not being decapitated by a light sabre, eaten by cockroaches, or having all the money in your bank account stolen.

Interesting.

Short List, dear. Whenever you, Anaamika, Oak, Chronos, the Doc, and the other three sin, your punishment is assigned to someone else.

Seriously, does NO ONE read the faq?

Well except for the stolen part. With my wallet, the real Skald would have emptied the contents into the river before throwing the wallet in.

Now you’ve been away doing … well something I guess … so maybe you’re still settling in or something. That would explain the lack of Skaldiness. Or you might actually be the one with beard, or not, depending on whether or not you used to have a beard.

Silly ThunderCat. If I’d emptied the wallet before throwing it into the river, you would not have been forced to jump in after it.
