Well, better late than never I suppose but people only started talking about this place re-opening in the wee small hours for me on Facebook and I was asleep

Yes, of course... but who got blamed?

I don't have a copy of your old avatar on this machine. I'll try digging in the laptop later. Late for bed... gotta work tonight.

Hello.


...Sheng?
Man, the word overlap on this name makes me look more like a troll than I had intended to be.  Feels good!

Anyway, how've you been?

Man, I almost picked 3rdCanopianFusiliers too.  But...I wasn't cool enough.

Also I must say this is a remarkably pretentious thread title.
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

Nothing says pretension like...Arby's, I guess.

I'm just going to tell myself imitation is a form of flattery, but man, it's weird enough with one bizarro 3CL out there.

Nope.  You weren't cool enough.  But maybe someday when you meet the man in person, you will be!

Arby's gives me gas.

3CL, 3CRC, 3CF.  The 3Amigos that could have been...

I'm actually quite glad you think highly enough of me to reference my person as a "bizarro 3CL".

I'm more interested in getting a nicer colour scheme for the fora than most other things....

Yeah, this color scheme is kind of drab and utilitarian.  I wonder when DS will have a chance to fix it.

Remarkable, I registered yesterday, and I could swear there was no AFFS thread then. Heck, was there even a Mechwarrior Hall? And here I'm back and I find you aready have pushed this one 5 pages further. My eyes water, reminiscing of the good old days when we had this little competition with the Ravens... Ah, those were the days!

Thinking of which, where is the spirits locker in here?  ;)

I've never eaten it, myself. My policy is never to pay for food I can make perfectly well at home. It'd be like buying a grilled cheese.

Oh, dear.... Awful, awful, awful. Time to pick up a Successor State to invade and solve the problem, I think. So, who makes the best scotch, barring the Elsies?  ;D

Oh, yes, and what's Arby?

It's an American fast food chain, known for selling roast beef sandwiches for (at one time) five for a dollar, a price point so improbably low that a thinking man might wonder exactly what was wrong with them.

Jeez... When I think we're paying roastbeef around 25€ a kilogram here, I'll say the bargain looks fishy  ;D

Just wait, I guess. I registered yesterday, so I guess admins have had time to fix my account again.

5 Guys may have survived in some form or another.  At some point over the centuries they probably had to add another guy or two.

So long as there are still independent British style greasy spoons to help combat hangovers and kebab shops for when you are still generating your hangover, I can live without any or all of the chains
