Howdy all,

Last time I baited was in 2004. Work, life, injury kept me away from it... but I always missed the fun.

So now I'm back. A little rusty, I think, so 16 simultaneous straight baits will have to do until I'm back in form. Twisted Evil

Just wanted to say hi to the (very few) familiar faces from the olden days. Crying or Very sad

Oh, and I don't know who was the first to come up with it, but the lad conference call modality was a stroke of genius. Didn't take long to put Kishkish SAM together with Skype and a bag of idiots' phone numbers. No deads yet, but I'll keep you posted. Cool

Welcome back JB. You're (so far) the second long-time-away member to return today Smile

Thanks, Shiv. Out of curiosity, who is the other prodigal? I hadn't noticed anything like that today.

Oh, and thanks for the polite relocation. One does get rusty...

It certainly has been a while since you were here regularly. Before my time, but welcome back. Smile

Join the club. I used to be baiting years ago. A bunch of other stuff came up and didn't have time. Now I'm back.

Greetings to both of you. It won't be long before you're wondering where you're spare time went Wink

Been there. Wrote the book on it. Looks like I'm writing a whole new chapter. Laughing

Even when my rule is, no more than 5 minutes a day for each of these morons, when you have 16 on the hook, it adds up.

And hey, it's not often you find a hobby that benefits from heavy drinking! Very Happy

Actually, it was (sober) soccer that did me in. Long story.

damn man, will you look at blue dragon! what a post whore!

It's great when old members return. I think we should go on a mission to hunt some of them down and force them to come back here.

Hiya Jen, very long time no see. BTW, I'm still scrubbing my eyes out from those photos.

Good to see you back.

Never heard of you, must be a noob trying to pull a fast one Laughing

, welcome back.

Thanks all. Very happy to be back.

@Dio: glad I'm not the only one who remembers that awfulness. Even thinking about it makes me queasy, three years on.

@419weas: trust me. You really don't want to know... :yikes:

So true. Weasel, take Jen's word for it.
