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

Red Wine is a source of antioxidants, not sure about other forms of alcohol.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Hmmmmmm, maybe I should start drinking wine...
Bah, I really don't like that taste.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.I actually quite like wine. And am growing a taste for beer, especially good lager.
Ditto. You can't keep jacking his avatars, lu.

"The marvel is not that the Bear posts well, but that the Bear posts at all."This is the second time within a week somebody said they were scared of Drunk!me.
This cannot be a coincidence.
And how can you confuse me with Arha! He's going to take offence to that!
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerA drunk mod? Sure, Why Not?
@Lu
I'm not scared of Arha! I have the power of the light that also is the power of my own very heart!
I enjoy most kinds of alcohol, with some of the dryer red and white wines excepted. The taste just puckers my mouth too much to really like it. I prefer wines with higher residual sugar content, like blushes and dessert wines and the like.
When I drink beer, I prefer stouts, full flavored lagers, and wheat beers. Light beers and the swill that is Budweiser, Miller, Coors, and the other major brands can just go suck it. If I want beer-flavored water I'll pour a Killian's in a toilet and drink out of that... not that I'd disrespect a Killian's in that manner.
Liquor is fine, straight or mixed, although I have a thing about tequila after a certain New Year's fiasco when I was young and stupid.

@kay I wouldn't say your parents are people you should be proud of.
@lulu You have a father? Weird.
My dad and mom hate smoking.
I do it anyway because I'm just that cool.I smoke every once in a while. Like one cigarette every blue moon.edited 8th May '12 11:16:26 AM by TheWesterner
I was wondering why frisbees got bigger as they got closer then it hit me.
