I'm so proud of all of you!

It's been two days and no insults, no mud slinging, just good solid posts that are enjoyable and thought provoking to read. <sniff> I'm so proud, I'm about to burst into tears of joy.

You guys don't know what I have to go through as mentor of this forum, coming in here every night and shoveling out all that mud was killing my back.
 
Btw Evo, this thread is off topic. It will have to be moved to GD. :biggrin:

Oh look, Smurf's GOOBF card has been folded, spindled and mutilated. Tsk, tsk, it's no longer valid. :devil:
 
I thought I had immunity... I've never gotten a goobf card before because I don't need one.

You lost your immunity when you proclaimed your love for that girl in your class. Hmmmmpff!

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. :biggrin:

The relative Peace and Quiet is quite nice.

I hope Pengwuino is alright. :wink: :smile:

Perhaps its due to Thanksgiving coming up, or perhaps people have realized that Santa Claus is keeping lists of who's naughty and who's nice. :biggrin:

* I am sending Evo an air-conditioned hazmat suit so she can deal with all that fertilizer. And perhaps we'll have to send a massaging chair and hot pad for the back. Or, Evo, would you rather a masseur who can do windows? *

Evo, can I borrow that hotpad for my back? I have a nasty bruise from running into an automatic waterer tube while chasing a sheep yesterday (I hate those things...the waterers, not the sheep)...knocked me off balance and I landed on my knees in that fertilizer. I just know the sheep did it on purpose.

I think I figured out what's going on though...we just had a full moon recently, and everyone was out barking at that instead of at each other. :-p :smile: :rolleyes: Or was that just me?

Awwww poor Moobie. :frown:

You may have the massaging chair and hotpack. Also the masseuse. I've also added the squishy animal foot vibrators I saw at Walmart. Mmmmmmm. :approve:

All straights are just dumb breeding machines out of control. They are unqualified to make proper compatibility considerations, and their reproductive roles&partnerships should be decided by a set of more rational beings.

That I disappear for a couple of days and return to see a congrats posted that there's been no mud-slinging in my absence does little for my battle against paranoia. :rolleyes:

Not to mention their sense of fashion, or lack thereof.
