Hello old friends, new entrants, and people I have generally not spoken to in a very long time.

I was talking to an old friend from here and decided to log into see what has happened in my long absence. How has everyone been?

Well, we have conquered the world sense you have been gone. By next year the universe should be all ours too!
Nice to see you, you have been missed.

Too long absence entails a tuna in your face. SMACK!

Don't they have more interesting fish up there than Tuna? I think that Franz deserves better than that!
 
Perhaps a Betta splendens? I've seen it around somewhere here in PF.

We've wondered where you were and what you've been up to. Welcome home, fn.

Ok, next time, I'll box his ears with a pike.
 
Welcome back Franz! So, you somehow escaped the volcano? We just assumed that Cyrus pushed you in when you won the co-funniest member award with him since one of you had to be sacrificed to the PF volcano gods. :rolleyes:

How's life treating you?

Oh, oops. :redface: I'm getting all the long-lost members confused now. :rolleyes: I just turned a year older, it's not my fault. :rolleyes:

I'm wondering if this was some sort of franznietzsche drive by?
 
  • #12
Sorry for the drive by as hypatia put it. I just remembered I had posted this a month ago and forgot to check it. I was locked away in a hotel for a week after starting the thread for work related obligations. Long story.

At any rate, the long story on the last two (?) years was changing majors, moving, moving again, working, moving again. I've bounced around quite a bit, not really sure what I want to do.
