He's staying. Wolram has learned that you don't mess with the Sisterhood. If we say stay, you stay.

Luckily the injuries he sustained during his attempted escape aren't permanent, he'll be walking again in a few weeks. :biggrin:

Anyone else want to try leaving? :devil:

Yay! I thought I was going to have to get the dart gun. I already loaded the darts with the good drugs for rams and was about to hand it off to MIH (she's a better shot than I am). :devil:

Hope to see you around Wolram.

Moderation is the key; no more than ten or twelve hours of PF per day. :biggrin:

Thanks a lot! With that picture in my head, I'll never get turned on by a sheep again as long as I live.

Well, due to so many people saying a sincere-looking goodbye, I am questioning my understanding of his first post.
 
  • #43
I told you he's not leaving us! I know he can't leave without me!:rolleyes:

Partly kidding, I hope you have nice time out of here. Of course you're not allowed to be out more than 14 hours! o:)

Yeah, if this is how they express their affection for you, I would not want to see how they behave if you got on their wrong side. Wise decision you made Woolie. I think you are theirs for life. :biggrin:
