Zooby sighting at PF!

Where have you been? We were just talking about you.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
what? the gay I mean gray alien? here?
 
No, our old buddy Zoobyshoe. He's a bigfoot.
 
who's the gray alien?
 
Shaggy asked Daphne.
 
yup, me and plover saw him, too.

We schemed all night on how to lay a trap for him but by the time we came up with the perfect plan (actually plover came up with it - I just took notes) Zooby was gone.

I was left holding a bag of zooby-food shaped iron pellets.

And plover, poor plover, with his industrial strength magnet, was crushed under an anvil marked "ACME" that came out of nowhere. :cry:
 
I think Zoobys like to sneak around and hide in the bushes for awhile before letting loose a blood curdling, hair raising, heart stopping, primordial one liner.

I seem to remember zoobies being attracted to bad limericks and easy women.

FZ+ ! Where have you been! I haven't even wanted to type anything in the Psuedo science forum because you haven't been around to debunk it.

:smile: Hello FZ+, long time no see. Is Zero coming back too?
 
  • #14
Zero's gone? Wow...
 
  • #15
Yes, we're all coming back, once they let us.
 
  • #16
FZ+! :smile:

now, where's Njorl?? He should be here any second...
 
  • #17
Wow, did the mothership return last night?

FZ+! Where have you been?

Zooby better get his hairy buns back in here, everyone misses him!

I wish Njorl would come back.

FZ+! Hey buddy we were just talking about you as well. Welcome back.

I should have enough posted in S&D to keep you busy for the next year or so. :biggrin:
 
  • #19
Welcome back FZ+, it's been a while and we've missed you ... please don't leave again, OK?
 
  • #20
Wow, all these typefaces I haven't seen in so long suddenly reappear! Was there a big escape over at the loony bin? :smile: Welcome back; now stick around this time!
 
  • #21
yeah, welcome back everyone. This place has fallen apart since you left. You should see some of the crazy people who were handed awards this year.
