Where were you, Huck? Did you go back in the Navy? Do you have some new Navy stories for us? huh huh huh?

I only go back in the Navy in my nightmares. I'll be swabbing decks for eternity.

I didn't go anywhere. I just lost internet. And now that I have it back again I'll be moving soon. I threw a dart at a map and it landed on Portland, Oregon so that's where I'm headed. No, I like the area and have a friend who lives not too far away. But this means I won't have internet access again for a while.

Hmm, I don't think I'll ever catch up on all the stuff I missed. Anyone want to fill me in on anything important that I should read?

I'm afraid you are required to read and respond to each post since you were last here. That will teach you to stay away so long and get us all worried. :cry:

I checked out the "Where is Huckleberry" thread. Was interesting to discover Kerrie thought I was a woman. Got a good laugh from that, but I can see why she would think that if she only read my posts in the philosophy section.

And Zooby is still cracking the brain jokes. :biggrin:

Hey, where is the refresh button? Do I have to exit the thread to refresh it? I guess PF isn't like riding a bicycle. I've forgotten how to get around in this thing.

Moonbear said:
:smile: Good to see you've come back to visit Franzbear! Where have you been? I see all the work you've done on the Tiki Bar, but surely you could have dropped in once in a while to say hi to the kid. :biggrin:
I thought Franzbear was dead--see:
Huckleberry said:
Hey, what happened to Franzbear? I thought he was on his death bed just before I left. Now I come back and see he is younger than before. Is this some kind of a paradox?

HI EVERYONE!
Hi Huck!

I went through the 12-step program to deal with my PF addiction. I'm clean now, but must moderate myself or I'll have to start all over again. :-p

Welcome back Huck! Glad to see you have internet access again! :biggrin:

I just got my cable internet today...woohoo! (Yep, JUST got it, and figured out how to set up my airport with it...duh, just had to turn the computer off and back on and it worked, but I missed that step of the instructions :smile:).

Well, at least in Oregon, if you need your PF fix and don't have internet right away, you can visit half the mentors! :eek: :bugeye: You might want to call first. :rolleyes:
 
  • #8,406
Those instruction manuals are useless anyway. I just toss 'em out as soon as I open the box. I'm not even sure what language they are written in most of the time, but it is something close to, but not exactly resembling English.

I think I'll be hiding out in Portland for a while, looking over my shoulder at every cafe or book store for rogue mentors. Makes it a lot easier to sneak up behind them and yell really loudly, "LISA!"

Well, that's pretty much how I missed that step. :rolleyes: The instructions are all for PCs, not Macs, so I just ignored the book until it didn't work. :biggrin:

Welcome back, Huckleberry!

As you can tell, you've been missed.

Portland, OR - eh? You can go visit Ivan and Tsu, and Integral and family.

I heard Evo clear across the internet. :biggrin:
 
  • #8,409
Hi Astronuc!

I don't know about going to visit PF members. I'm actually very shy and reserved in person, if you couldn't tell. I usually feel uncomfortable in social situations especially around people I'm not very familiar with. It takes some time or half a dozen shots of sambuka before I feel comfortable around strangers. Don't talk much anyways. Not even sure why I came here. I don't know much about physics or anything for that matter. I just like the company here.

  • #8,412
I see...I'm going to have to talk to that concrete salesman about the quality of his product. It seems they've broken out of the box I built around them...um...I mean, that room they all just wandered into and couldn't find their way back out. :rolleyes:
 
  • #8,413
has anyone realized that the only people moonbear hasn't performed attempted murder on is me, evo, and some of the sisterhood?
 
  • #8,414
Oh yea she did mention your assassination to me a few weeks ago, on our Scorpio and Scorpio cusp meeting.. I think we decided to let you live since you are.. what was that word.. I can never remember those afterwards.. oh yeah.. "a kiddo" :biggrin:

  • #8,417
ummm...no.
 
  • #8,418
yomamma... She's never tried to kill me either.

Egotistical thirteen year old ain't ya?

:rolleyes: That was Louie the loan shark, and it was Artman who, um, uh, escorted him out of town. :wink:

Murder? Never! That's no fun at all. The sisterhood prefers torture. :devil:

*cue yomamma's parents walking in room, reading over shoulder and unplugging the computer..."what sort of crazy people are you writing to, talking about murder and torture?"*

Well its a close race - 8,894 posts vs 89,873 views. Which will it be first, 9000 replies or 90,000 views?

My there seem to be a lot of curious folk.

Will this thread ever get to 10,000 replies? And I have to wonder at this point - how many have been deleted.
 
  • #8,423
I swear this thread has already gone past 10000 posts. Back in May I left for a while and it was approaching 10k then. I returned yesterday and now it is on 8k. I think I'm losing my mind. Anyone want some coffee?
 
  • #8,424
mmmm...coffee...so...tired...must...eugh :zzz: (i know its only 6:10 but its been a long day)

btw...has anybody seen franz? after he went through that gator pit looking for zz's, he never came back. I went to check on him this morning and found a pile of dead gators...some had their tails eaten

I could use some coffee, but you're not losing your mind. Evo did some housekeeping (I suspect it was mostly you-know-who's posts, but haven't looked back to find out what went away).
 
  • #8,426
Yep, the bulk were those posts, since they weren't visible anyway, they just take up post count. Say buhbye meninhats. :biggrin:

'This is exactly the crap that gets deleted..


on another note, franzbear had just graduated killophone college. The blood was tremendous! did you know that they filmed the shining at a killophone concert? :biggrin:

he's also enrolled in the thread army and has been shipped to scissorland to fight the evil paper-cutters.

Depends. How tall are you? And I think the correct phrasing is: eeffoc muss kyle ooy do?

Prediction for the future:

Surf will be Premier of British Columbia, followed by Smurf will be Prime Minister of Canada. :biggrin:

After reviewing his posts - I think this a strong possibility.

PM Canada site - http://www.pm.gc.ca/

not cookies! he'll get spywa-- oh, you mean the edible cookies... :rolleyes:
 
  • #8,434
and while Smurf is PM of Canada - I think that

Evo should be President of the US
Tsu - Vice President
MIH - Secretary of Defense or Department of Justice
SOS2008 - Secretary of State
Moonbear - Secretary of Health and Human Services
pattylou - Secretary of the Interior
hypatia - Secretary of Commerce
honestrosewater - Secretary of Treasury
Kerrie - Secretary of Labor :biggrin:

I think that's the eligible members of the sisterhood. Those are not binding, the nominees are free to choose other positions - I think any sister would make a good Secretary of Defense. :biggrin:

I'll leave it up to the ladies choose the remainder of the Cabinet.

Together Smurf and Evo can rule North America - we just need to find someone to handle Mexico. :biggrin:

Well, I want to be Speaker of the House.

That's fine MK - but you'll have to run for Congress.

I was only addressing the Executive branch. There are several Cabinet Positions open, e.g. Energy, Transportation, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, . . .

I prefer hanging around the kitchen cabinets wherever the cookie jar is kept. :biggrin:
