My denim jacket had a slight tobacco smell...

... Everyone in my family smoked... and I hated it, especially when they did it at the supper table... but then, at age 12, I was offered a cigarette by one of my paper route customers... and suddenly, other people smoking didn't bother me so much anymore... ...it must run in the family, too. The same exact thing happened to one of my nephews while you were away. After years of complaining about other people smoking, he's done been caught smoking himself. at least I notice your MBC posts haven't lost their flare Meh... I just call 'em like I see 'em... or foresee it, as the case may be... Obviously I'm not there to defend the admins... I'm there mostly just because the queens enjoy using me as one of their "scapeghosts" when presenting one of their hysterical conspiracy theories, etc... they act like concern trolls, so I feed them like concern trolls... and they cluelessly eat the shit right up... and sometimes I've even enough time to hang out and kick a few of my favorite ones in the teeth. LOL... Here's a scenario... Bitch complains about "cogs who don't participate as regular posters"... as if a cog's [my] non-participation as a regular poster is detrimental to the board somehow... ... ...and yet... at the same time, Bitch complains about the cogs participating as regular posters... ... ... ...as if the cogs don't have any right to express their "regular poster" opinions when they are "one of the cogs". So... when a cog uses his regular poster nick to post a NEGATIVE opinion about another poster the bitches admire, it's "Whaaaaaaaa! ...The cogs are using their regular nicks to bait, harass and entrap posters so they can ban them.... whaaaaaaaaaa!" ...and, simultaneously, when a cog uses his regular poster nick to express a POSITIVE opinion about another poster, it's "Whaaaaaaaaa! ...the cogs are playing favorites! ...whaaaaaaaaaaa!" This is just one of the games that gets played ;-) Anyhow, hope things are well with you I'm fine, despite getting older, and soft and sentimental in my old age, too... I've kept busy, mostly productive... and out of trouble. I've a couple of twink friends who refer to themselves as my "boi tois" now... aaahhh... {{{lights a cigarette}}}... and I'm no longer involved here like I used to be. A project I started working on took me elsewhere... and with the help of some top-notch friends who've gone elsewhere also, I was able to continue working on it... ...besides, this place seems to be drowning in drama queens, yes men, cream puffs... and even some who are "too lazy" to provide the feedback that they offered to render, but never did... but now I'm probably just ranting about stuff you've little or no knowledge. With two-faced, cog-bashing drama queens like Honesty who think volunteers are "worthless pieces of shit" unless they're always kissing ass and should resign or "kill themselves" at every turn of events... there's little desire to work with people who are prone to doing the same thing... ...isn't this what happened to Scapey, too? Not only did Scapey quit helping before I did, so did another one I know about... he was a long-time volunteer who briefly utilized a horned cog-nick... they are among the few whom I've really enjoyed working with... their "disappearances" are also among the reasons I quit helping here too. I really wish I was able to get in touch with both of those guys... somehow... off-board, via e-mail... as I'd like to share some news, and also find out how they are doing IRL, etc... maybe keep in touch, too, just in case an opportunity arises to work with them again in the future. Anyway... that's what I've been up to... and I'm probably just rambling too much here anyway... so... ...Welcome back! {{{wags tail}}}
