Having never heard of it, I guess I wasn't.


Just googled it. Is it about Oklahoma?

[SmartAleq]

Yeah, long time ago we got a really inept brigade of people from this board fulla Okies that tried to come troll us, but they were bad at it and we just genial'd them into settling down and having a virtual beer with us. It was silly but kinda fun. Some of us joined their board to brigade them back but it was all in good fun. Kinda miss those guys.

Ah OK. I came here from SD, which I got to by one of Ed's articles through researching something. No brigade for me, I just stumbled in.

Thought of returning to SD too, but did a google search and apparently they STILL have malware issues.

And I see Llama chat is gone. Or is it a separate entity now?

[SmartAleq]

I think Threnny was managing the chat but stopped doing it, it's been gone a while.

Is she still on GB? Seems like a lot of the old crew aren't here any more.

[SmartAleq]

I see her on Facebook, she's pretty busy with life and running a side business.

Ah OK. Life has a way of making other plans, as they say. :-)

[SmartAleq]

True dat! But hey, never know--you came back, others could as well.

[JackieLikesVariety]

but they come back then look around and realize so many others have not and they leave again. then some of the others that hadn't come back and they look around and they leave again.

it's like we can barely have mixed doubles.

It's like a true-to-life Evangeline* some days.

He was kidding about boomerangs, dude.

[Glazer]

Rolling over to the top of the page kind of broke up the line of comments.

[boomerwang]

After someone posted ''Really?'' to my name change request, another posted some silly joke about ''he hates wangs exploding'' (because BOOMer-). Adding ''or come back'' seems to have a clever double meaning, and would even if it was all on one page (being 1) boomerangs come back and 2) I came back to the board.

Or maybe I just imagined it. Either way it's not a big deal.

[JimNightshade]

Welcome back Boomerwang!

You have been inexplicably missed.

Much boom, many bangs?

Cheers.


Boom, bangs, you name it. It's a rich explosive tapestry.

[rexzilno]

Giraffe,

Well I guess I am going to ask for a change to my username: I propose rexzilno, that would be pronounced; rex . zil . no, people would likely just call me rex, but hey at least they could pronounce the whole name.

Old username: reksfzilno, requested username: rexzilno.

Thank you

I wandered back in.

[Hobo with a spatula]

This shotgun is attracting too much attention, I'd like to go back to being Hobo with a Spatula, please.

[SmartAleq]

Oh good, I like spatulas much more than shotguns!

I concur. Flipping burgers with a shotgun is much more difficult than using a spatula.

You're just not leading 'em enough.

I sense a new youtube video being made ...

[Khampelf]

I hear that YouTube cracked down on the firearms stuff and that those guys are using amateur porn upload sites now.

[Nisslbody]

Can I change mine to just "Nisslbody"? It's the username I go by more consistently elsewhere, I was just in username prototype mode when I signed up here.

[Hobo with a spatula]

Do I need to load this shotgun?

Does anyone remember why I was hunting Pandas?

[SmartAleq]

Hey, @Giraffe, do your thing mang--I mean, you basically have ONE JOB!

[Borborygmi]

We can still call Nisslbody "Pons" after the name change, though, right?

[Giraffe]

Yes! Yes you can!

(And screw you, SmartAleq, I have at least two jobs -- I also have to periodically delete the worst smilies Fenris adds. )

[SmartAleq]

But you also delete the cool ones so ! And don't forget to give the Hobo his spatula back!

[Giraffe]

I'm trying really hard not to delete that smiley...

Thanks! I feel so freeeee!

I'm going to post as Link from now on.

- TPFKA Plumbean

[pickle berry]

You were Triple Pineapple Fig Kiwi Apple Plumbean?

Good to know.

[Random Precision]

So instead of just changing your user name, you built a sock to post under and then came here to tell everyone it's your sock?

Seems completely sane and reasonable.

[Link]

I never claimed to be either of those things.
