This is a thread for people who will not be or have not been on the site for a while, whether due to real life or to resist an internet addiction, the latter of which is encouraged within reason. Also, talk about the benefits/whatever of taking a day or a weekend off, or things to do when not online. TV Tropes ruining your life is nothing to be proud of.

Generally, expect the following from this thread:

  1. People announcing their departure or return.
  2. Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
  3. Inquiries about an absent troper.
  4. Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

Well, damn. Does this mean I have to ban myself?

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

That means I'd be banned again. Although my alternate form has blonde hair... but still...

I'm dark brown-black with a significant helping of gray. Not sure what that qualifies me as.

My wife wants me to dye my hair back to its original color; she thinks it's ridiculous for me to be half grey at 36. I told her it looks dignified on a man.

... What were we talking about, again?

Hm... I guess I'll dye my hair blue. I mean, a black man with blue hair will totally not be conspicuous, right, guys?

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

I've always found black and auburn hair to the coolest hair colors.

I was wondering why frisbees got bigger as they got closer then it hit me.

If there is one thing I am even more forbidden to do than grow a beard, it's go bald/crew cut.

I'm not sure if I want flamboyant red hair, light red-orange hair, or a sort of dark red.
