Ladies and gentlemen, we are BACK!

Roll Call!

B-man here of course.

Hello... Hello... Hello...

It's good to be back.

And very glad we all are that it is back!

Hi everybody. It's good to be back. Like the new avatar?

Klep · « **Reply #6 on:** 25 January 2011, 20:43:17 »

Is it meant to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies? Because clowns are terrifying.

Kinda reminds me of a costume I wore one Halloween to work a few years ago.

There's nothing quite like the combination of stark Lovecraftian horror and subtle eroticism of a young lady clown.

So this is a nice surprise. It is going to take me forever to generate any significant number of posts.

I get the Lovecraftian horror bit, but honestly, there's nothing close to eroticism when it comes to clowns. Creepy! I mean, come on, where's the joy in "honk-honk-honk" of a rubber nose beating against your...well you get the idea.

I'm going to have to start working the phrase "young lady clown" in to my everyday conversation.

I just wish they were lower case instead of upper.

Only the first 10 posts thank goodness.

All's well 'round these parts. Well, okay not all, but you people have no need and probably less desire to hear of my travails, none of which are that big of a deal anyway.

It is the angle and silly stripes that is bugging me. I did discover one good outcome of this forum hack: I've been 'unsubscribed', for lack of a better term, from some really insidious threads. Yahtzee!

Those sentiments are totally antithetical to the very purpose of the internet.

Who else is going to GenCon?

Wolf Reaper · « **Reply #17 on:** 25 January 2011, 21:19:28 »

I was aiming to, either Gen or Origins.

As per clowns, creepy? yes.
Dangerous? most definately.
But add in a cute female and all is forgiven.

...OK, most things are forgiven.
I will never forgive telatubies.

Joskney is accounted for, oddly enought

Arkansas Warrior · « **Reply #19 on:** 25 January 2011, 21:36:00 »

I'd love to make either Origins or GenCon, but I'll either still be in the post-college unemployment phase, or recently employed and without the time to take off. I'll have to set my sights on next year, at the earliest.

3CL,

Given the fate of your namesake unit did you consider changing your login name? Just curious.

How would we know it's him? I mean there's practically nothing else that would give him away...

Joskney · « **Reply #24 on:** 25 January 2011, 21:46:34 »

I have the time off for GenCon but at this point I still have two houses I am paying mortgage on. It will have to be played out as the time comes.

Doug Glendower · « **Reply #25 on:** 25 January 2011, 21:49:57 »

I wish I could go to GenCon, but I might not make it to ComicCon... and I have free room and entrance. :(

The avatar would be plenty. For gratuitous certainty, he could add "The poster formerly known as 3CL" under the avatar or something. But I'm happy to see him stick with the old. Don't fix it if it ain't broke, as they say.

I might be at GenCon, but it's too early for me to say. Ask again in a few months.

Hey guys!

Nice having everyone back.

As for Ed, I don't think he'd change his name around here. We recognize it a bit too much.

As for any sort of Con plans, 2011 is already out due to work requirements. 2012 looks a bit more do-able, if only because I get out of the Navy in the summer.
