It couldn't have been designed better. Truly, performance art on the part of whatever insanely funny entity was at work there.

41. and you may have noticed that
I was aware of what was going on and working for your revival.

You may have wondered, or not.

"I didn't stop to ask, Pooh. Even at the very bottom of the river I didn't stop to say to myself 'Is this a Hearty Joke, or is it the Merest Accident?' I just floated to the surface, and said to myself, 'it's wet'. If you know what I mean."

29. WHUT?
I would have lost my mind if Forrest would have been no more at DU. Hell, I almost lost my mind when he took a hiatus from DU. Had he forever disappeared, I would have been heartbroken.

35. as would we all
"Now the stage is bare and I am standing there,
with emptiness all around
and if he won't come back to us
then they can bring that curtain down."

Of course, I said the same thing when yvr girl said she was gonna quit flirting. She did quit not-flirting. Now she flirts with everyone

except me. :cry:

I'm sorry :cry: I thought I was over it :cry:

34. Hey, Ms teric, don't make me revive that "pun crockery" bit that I
revealed to you in 2002, that was subsequently banned by international treaty. You know, the one that gave even puns a bad name. :P

13. yes, come and join the celebration
If someone says in a loud voice "Oh bother, it's Forrest" you can always drop out again, or, better yet, get me and CG to kick their a$$.

"There may be something in what you say, Rabbit," he said at last. "I must move about more. I must come and go."
"That's right , Eeyore. Drop in on any of us at any time, when you feel like it."
"Thank you, Rabbit. And if anybody says in a Loud Voice 'Bother, it's Eeyore,' I can drop out again."

15. It's all a sham
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 04:26 PM by khashka
Forrest is playing the old "I got myself banned" game, so that we'll pour out oodles of affection. It's a cheap ploy, but cleverly played.

My hat's off in admiration - even I can't play attention whore with such skill. :)

Come back, Forrest!!!!!!!!!!

Khash.

So let's not incorrige him. I feel an urge to post a "Forrest Who?" thread, just to throw a spanner into his well laid plans :)

50. Oh, so you're back now, huh?
The mods have very short memories, I guess.

So you didn't actually get banned, just briefly spanked. Poor boy.

My heart bleeds for your terrible plight. :cry: Yeah, right. Do the words "attention whore" ring any bells?

:)

:hi:

If you need to get banned, I've got some pointers that'll help you, too, enjoy the same level of idiocy in the nature of your banning and yet still revel in the postbanning adulation. :D
