Light up the Sky

Conratulations to our own Panama's Meanstreet, our new Moderator. Iro turned in his resignation to me, and chose his successor, Panama's Meanstreet.

Congratulations!

Thanks to both gentlemen. I shall do my duty and do it well.

Iro is a great dude, and he made the right choice.

ha he typed doody...

It's too bad he left the forums for the time being, hopefully he will come back...but we may never hear from him again...

I'll be here.

John

I got a feeling he's lurking, as much as I've asked him to return he won't.

Well, then I shall add my request, for I'd love to see him back.

Iro, if you're out there, please bring your wry sense of humor, your seemingly bottomless pit o'knowledge and your smile back to our little community. We miss you....

.... I can bring sandwiches.

Ham is my speciality subject, after-all.

Welcome back!!! Glad to see you back on!

Thanks, zoz. It's good to see you too, mate.

How'z trick'z peep'z?

Hey!! Welcome back Iro!
Sure, just in time for me to leave for 4 1/2 months---your timing is impeccable, sir....but I'll be glad to have a sammich for the road, if you please--might I have a bit of mustard on mine? heehee...

Rav!

What manner of beast should dare take you from our fold?

Be it thy dreaded Dragon they call Work??

Indeed, gentle sir, the need for pounds and pence doth rip me from the comfort of our cottage here in the land of the Amish, and it goadeth me to travel to the far desert where the Phoenix dwells, wherein there are many who are slathering for my wares.

While it paineth me that I cannot share commraderie with my fellow music lovers but for a mome' here and there in the coming months, I am gladdened to know that thou hast returned to our fold, and mayhaps upon occasion we shall converse anon.

What?

Alas, tis our misfortune indeed. Full sweet are thy words and wit.
So be it then; in the desert a fair rose will bloom.

Have a good trip, Rav.

HAHAHA! I've been speaking this way for so long, I forget sometimes that other people who haven't don't necessarily understand it. It's English, obviously, but using a dialect that was prominent in Elizabethan times--Shakespeare is a great example of it. I'm not totally authentic with my usage, but as long as it sounds close, most faire folk don't know the difference. I'll give you the gist of what we said:

Iro: Rav! What's causing you to leave us, work?

Ravenna: Yes, the need for money impels me to travel from here in PA to AZ, where there are lots of people who will buy my stuff. While it makes me sad I don't get to hang out with you guys, I'm happy to know that you have come back. Maybe once in awhile we'll be on at the same time, and can talk.

Does that clear it up for you, AJ?

Though my moments of presence here sha'n't be so numbered as the very blades of grass in the meadow, our mutual misfortune will not prove o'er tedious--I shall be here from time to time.

I'faith, I almost feel as if I am already in the desert, so warm and bright are your kind sentiments. Anon, sweet friend--may it be not long e're we two meet again....

(HAHA! thanks for the practice and the good trip wishes! see ya soon! rav)

May the road rise with you, rav.

Yeah, that clears it up.

Hey does anyone have any good PHP software?

Pan-Man is awfully quiet.

He's offline for an indefinite period of time. I spoke to him at That Other Place because something he posted disturbed me enough to ask, and he was not in a happy place, shall we say. I promised him I wouldn't divulge the whys and hows, but I think he's doing better now--he posted once or twice since then, and that leads me to believe life's getting back on an even keel for him. There was just a situation he was involved in that he and his folks decided it would help to resolve if he wasn't spending so much time online--no he wasn't being harassed online-- it was just, in his folks' view, contributory to the overall situation.

Oh, ok rav, thanx.

Pan-Man is a good kid, and a sharp one to boot, he'll sort it out!!

Our own ray of sunshine, Ravenna, is heading out today.

She's a great gal and she'll be missed, hey lads.

Pan-man was grounded, why I don't know.

Well sometimes a break is a good thing.

I'm kinda starting to get worried about him. I'll send him a e-mail.

Panama posted over at cvh.com earlier today--he says he's grounded off the computer, and it'll still be a little while before he can return to our little community. Good to hear from him though.

I feel his pain, I got a bad grade too!
