Hat & Hook - One to be Hung Upon t'Other

The folly of not taking adequate precautions was driven home yesterday in a pink taxi cab when the member known only as 'The Kilted One' lost his last marble down a drain near the Southwest corner of Central Park. Franctically scrambling on hands and knees with an ear to the ground desperately trying to follow the sound of said marble as it rolled through the pipes, the somewhat bare rear headed North into the rush hour traffic and hasn't been seen since.

Any fresh sightings are to be reported to the Lost & Found Department, clearly marked to the attention of lotta, the legs of 419eater.

And remember, if you're going to have relations with the press, for goodness sake use protection!

Aye, 'tis with lump in my throat I announce that I shall be frequenting these parts no more.

Such mundane things as work, marriage (tell my wife that and you WILL die quickly but messily, and I hope I live to see it) and life in general mean that I can no longer find the time to bait lads, use a large but ironically subtle club to point n00bs in the right direction, or even keep my troll poking stick sharp.

You are a great bunch of twisted, sick and otherwise normal weirdos which has made my time here thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. I'm proud to have known you all except slightly - never has a custom title been more understated...

Keep up the good work, remember to show your appreciation for the mod's now and then (they work bloody hard and I've yet to find a better team anywhere), and GIVE THOSE SCAMMERS WHAT FOR!

Ya Ya - tell me another one - you'll be back - it's an incurable disease man - there is no cure - when you start to shake just send in a wee post and it will all be right. Wink

Do you have to retire?

Can't you take a break?

Confused

If I had a $ for everytime I've heard that, I'd have ummmmmmmmmmmmm

$4.75 at least

Take care Callum, we'll keep a place for your stocking at Christmas, and try to keep your favourite chair reasonably clean.

And of course,

"you can check out, but you can never leave"

Awww. callum, you make me blush... Embarassed

Your assessment of the crew is spot on. I have enjoyed 98% of your posts (the other 2% were w-a-y over my head, so I didn't like them).

I will miss your wit and artful jabs with the pointy end of a stick as well as your tender answers to some n00bs (never me of course).

Please know that, "No mater where you go, there we are! Shocked

Do come back in the late of the night from time to time. Wink

As one who can remember whence your Directorship emanated, I shall miss your keen insight into the state of Eater.

Best wishes Callum.

Good luck to you and yours.

See you in a month or so. Wink

I've never liked you.
If it wasn't for the fact that you owe me money, I couldn't care less about you going.

Come back soon, dude.

Sad to see you go, mate.

You can go. But we're holding your

hostage to ensure frequent flying visits.

Sorry to see you go, mate.
Wish you the best. Stop in and see us sometimes.
Maybe name a kid Shiver.

Five years and now you suddenly decide that you have a life. Shocked

Quitter!

Best of luck with whatever you use the extra day or so per week that you now have at your disposal.

See you in a few weeks, when boredom and withdrawal sets in. Very Happy

All the best Callum, thanks for all the work you've done on here, see you again next week Smile

You might be doing well until you read: "I CRAVE YOUR INDULGENCE TO READ THIS MAIL.....".

Then the old juices will start to flow. Wink

Oh dear, here's another person that's been tricked into thinking that marriage, family and a job are important. Just because you read something on the internet does not make it true. Real life is so overrated. If its a problem with your marriage, just do what I do, put a laptop in the bathroom and bait and post from there. No sane person would ever complain that another spends too much time in the toilet. If they do, take a crap in a trashcan. After a few days the complaints will end.

Seriously, sorry to hear that you are leaving. Hurry back and check in once in a while. We'll be here.

Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2009 5:25 pm

Aw come on man, don't just leave and never stop by. Do what I occasionally do, take a break for a few months (or more) and then come back with a vengence every so often. This place needs people like you here.

But if you really are hell bent on leaving, good luck to you in life. It's been a pleasure.

Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2009 5:29 pm

That's what I thought too Callum. You'll be back.

Good luck in the mean time.

Who's going to be my troll poking buddy now.

Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2009 1:07 am

You'll be missed.
We'll keep the lads warm 'til you get back. Wink

Take care of yourself, and stop in to say hi from time to time.

Bah! I just can't believe this! When you start crying in the middle of the night and mumbling, "lotta, oh lotta!" then you'll find a way back to your real home and friends, callum. Every gaze upon a wooden stick shall make you think of whittling it to a fine, sharp point. Every green leotard shall draw you back nearer to us. Each cat sound will remind you of us here, waiting, waiting, waiting for your return. Raised beer mugs will give you intense flashbacks. Don't go. The pain will be too great.

I'm sooo sad Crying or Very sad
