Too late, he's missed too much of the campaign for nominations. We have too many good candidates this year to bring in a lame duck. Besides, everyone else sent chocolate to Evo and me.[/color]

I thought about that as well. Last time I was here I said I was going to wait until a couple months before voting and come in and take the title again.
That isn't my intention, that's why I'm being not funny.
No seriously I'll take myself out of the running if you want, I was just feeling in a pf sort of mood so I came back

Welcome Home Trib!
I thought you had blown yourself up or landed in the calaboose. :rolleyes:
Glad to see you're alive and hopefully the foot and ankle are healing.

:eek: He didn't mention anything about injuring his angle. No damned wonder he's been gone so long and comes back in a non-humourous mood.

Why yes, thank you. It's kind of you to respond so promptly to my concerns.

How do we tell if he's ripe? do we squeez or sniff?

I suggest doing neither. It's best to just wait for him to fall off the vine.

NOOOO! Do not squeeze the tribdog! Trust me on this. He totally flips out. :eek:

I think that's just a side effect of spending too much time in close proximity to a tribdog. It can be very dangerous...sharp objects flying everywhere, explosions left and right...

Hey, trib, did that pencil wound ever heal up properly? :biggrin:

yeah, ok, maybe. :redface: honestly though, franz, what I am really excited about is seeing YOU back here! You have been much missed by PF, too, y'know! We were even willing to trade Smurf for your safe return but something queered the deal.
 
  • #51
Okay, I come in here to find that Tribdog is back (you can tell because he left a mess on the carpet ), he blew up a mountain, someone squeezed him and his vine fell off (or something like that), and Franz and Smurf were having some sort of queer deal... :rolleyes: (or something like that). What else is new? :biggrin:

It's threads like this that kept Norm going back to Cheers. You walk in and everyone starts yelling your name. Really makes me want to get drunk.
 
  • #54
You're just so loved!
 
  • #55
What's not to love?

Okay, so I'm going out to my truck to get something for work. they are repaving the parking lot. The tip of my crutch gets stuck and comes off and I had to hop on one foot, bend over grab the tip. I drop the crutch in the tar. Now I have a black stain in my right armpit.

' r56ygft serfcxd i90plko u89okji r56ygft

I guess it's just too big. I wish I didn' have such a big nose.

Hmmmm. I just have it hold a pencil or pen to tap the keys.

In light of what you typed, you should check out this:
