Leaving for a while

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Uuhhhhh........

Don't you mean "if I start adding necessary "u"'s to varios words that are otherwise spelled correctly, then there will be case for concern????"

Besters was recently sighted in Edinburgh standing in line for a hot dog. When accosted, he hit three papparazzi, made some generally tasteless remarks about Zoroastrians (and what'd they ever do to him?) and claimed to be Computron. He disappeared from the jail leaving only a hanky with a hand-drawn map of Narnia.

You missed the whole "Return of IronHide" segment? Where have you been?

Oh, right.

Where have you been?

7 months! 7 months of Besters annoying the barstaff at the Blue Posts, waiting for you to turn up, just so he could run off and not meet up with you!

It's little wonder he's left! He must've got a tip-off that you were returning.

Wow, those things are highly comedic and extremely awesome.

If it wren't for the fact that no one else in the world would get the jokes, this could be an insanely populae web comic. :P

What the hell ever happened with that? Compy, did you drive Besty away by standing him up? Or was it what happened later that night?

Brend, you've got to look at the obvious. For ages, you've been trying to take over the board. For those same ages, I've done the same. Every time one of gets too close, the other, in the nick of time, heroically stops the other for the good of everyone involved. As long as I'm around, you'll never rule. For as long as you're around, I will never rule. Neither of us has a clear advantage over the other, so it is destined to be an eternal stalemate. When EVERYONE else is gone you and I will sit, alone, on the board waiting for the other to leave or for new members to draft into our respective camps. Neither will happen. It is a cold, bleak, nightmarish destiny that awaits us.

There's also slight copyright issues - which of course have been pointed out within the strips themselves often enough :eh?:

You're right - it is obvious.

I can't proceed with my plan for domination until I've killed you.

Where did I leave that shotgun?

Very good EmVee. :D
A welcome distraction from Friday afternoon time-recording sheets.

Incidently, does anyone else's employer insist on them spending more time recording what they are doing than actually doing it (without providing a time-recording code for 'time recording' :lol:), or just mine?.........kill me now :dead:
