Recently, a forum member who shall not be named "here" has returned after a hiatus almost exactly as long as the 22 months I've been a forum "member." (Funny, Craig "disappeared" around the same time, too. Just a thought.)

I was convinced, after seeing references to him/her over that time, that he/she must have been a cool guy/gal. I've told you before that I'm a poor judge of character and hanging out here hasn't changed that.

I was looking forward to getting to know him/her, after hearing so much "all that and a bag o' chips" stuff, over, and over, and over.

It started out OK, but got 86'd faster than an Italian cruise ship, as I was publicly defamed by being identified as a "usurper" by him/her.

So this may be my first, last, and only poll. It's in your hands (and Dog's) now.

Which would you like to see take place:?

I'm voting for Colbert, but it seems that poor guy can't get on the ballot here either! And, again, no write in votes are allowed! Where'd you write this poll, Myrtle Beach?!

I choose fight. It has the best entertainment factor for the long term.

I vote for whatever THIS is...

Some sort of Eastern European dance-off around a Fiat or something.

Bren R.

That hooch must have been excellent.

Looks like Chess DIDN'T finish all of Murph's moonshine!

If there were a Fiat involved, they'd' be much taller.

That's exactly what the guys and I do when we realize we overbid the job we're working on! I think we're older than them, though. And I'm quite sure we smell better @ 3 pm on a August Friday afternoon than they do on Sunday morning at church in January.

At first I was with BrenR and Medic8r, we need more options, but I would really like to see your version of quiet dignity Bob.

You have, Fred. Remember when there were three of us sitting together, and we were talking about how many people we'd each had sex with?

You were very quiet when I mentioned my number, but I wouldn't have called the look on your face dignified.

Wait! Which word is the real problem for you? "Quiet" or "dignity?"

OK! You win! I am incapable of both! There! Ya happy now?!?

Yup, mucho happy. By the way, I knew you were a rabbit, albeit a somewhat twisted one, long before that conversation. The look on my face was likely induced by a drunken stupor.

I see the poll is up. Good news Bob, nobody wants to see you die. I guess this means Mark will have to keep that gas mask on for a while.

This unholy alliance will be broken........ (by Bob).

I'm the one who was still mucking with his surge protector.

I am truly moved by that. Thank you, Fred. Especially for sticking around for more.

Dude, what are friends for if not amusing and abusing...

Hey, I finally remembered to check in on the poll.

Looks like CV should be firin' up the popcorn?!

He only wears it when I go up to visit. That's why it's an homage.

Damn, I should have voted... then "ignore them both" could have had TWO votes.

Bren R.

I didn't vote, either...then "Wait until the older one dies" would have at least gotten on the scoreboard.

You guys make a cute old married couple.

Maybe it's more a May-December couple, but hey.

He's got it on every time I check. Wait, let me go to another thread to take a look...

Yup, still on.

May - December? I can't keep focused on one task that l--ooh, bunny!

Bren R.

Actually Murph gave the last swig to Ian.
I don't think it was all backwash though.
