I've been gone for quite a while. Did I miss anything really important, guys?

Well, of course you did...everything!

Franzbear is all grown up now with 17 little strings (though little Kiashoe is on life support and Dansos is in prison, so it might only be 15 little strings soon, but we're really pulling for Kiashoe).

We've got quite a few new members of the Gold Club. I think we'll have to build a new wing onto the clubhouse.

The Tiki Bar is still open for business, but business has slowed recently. It's just not the right season for a floating tropical bar.

Oh, and we voted to mercilessly harrass guys from South Carolina who disappear for a while. :devil: :biggrin:
 
wow!

What a good summary ~

You really should check in once in a while. We worry!
Nice to see you again.

Yes, MIH has been a bit MIA lately. Been finishing summer final exams and dealing with really bad and expensive car troubles. Not as much time for PF frolicking! :frown:

Lots of folks have been MIA lately. It's been too quiet around here. :frown:

No, seriously. I was cleaning out posts in the "thread killers thread" and came upon several of yours (which I did not delete) and was wondering where you were.

Well, that was nice. You probably should have deleted those worthless posts, anyway. :biggrin:

MIH, how's your sister doing? :wink:

Uhh MIH's sister, Skipper, is a bit young don't you think? Is she even 18 yet? And what about Skipper's boyfriend Scott?

Welcome back though :smile:
