Yes, quite... I went through my old posts and discovered I loathe my middleschool self...

Sane I shall tell her to do that...

My avatar was custom made by someone on here... I don't remember actually...

I find it infinitely reassuring that I can check in with the Moot once every sixth months and still find the old crowd. Not to mention the nth incarnation of the Venting Thread and the Teacup Cafe.

[trolls' bane]

Elenka! Howzit? I've not seen you in...well, forever!

Yeah, I'm still here. Four years, my friend.

[Rían]

I miss the good ol' days of my first coupla years here ... back when I first made the wonderful discovery that there were people who loved Tolkien's works. I talked in all the Tolkien threads for years, and discovered the wonderful HoME books, but I'm still Tolkiened-out right now as far as discussion threads go.

Hi, 'Lenka! How's the horses?

Hi, 'Lenka! How's the horses?

Yeah, same here. And we joined around the same time, too.
I think I need to read the rest of Tolkein's books, because I've read all of my others at least once.

[Rían]

Yes, get the others!

[brownjenkins]

I miss the good old days when Ruinel, JD and Coney kept the mods around here busy.

[Earniel]

You planning on taking over where they left off, BJ?

*eyes BJ suspiciously*

Yeah. Me too.

[Rían]

Hey, now that I'm a notorious banned-type person, maybe I'll start keeping the mods here busy!

[Earniel]

Personally, I miss the good old days when there were more mods to actually keep busy...

[Rían]

ahh, those were the days ... *rocks in her rocking chair*

lol. You'll have to post a bit more to keep the mods busy. Kids out of school, yet?

[Prince Myshkin]

I remember those days with fondness... we would get up two hours before we went to bed and lick the pavement clean with our tongues... but you try to tell....... ......... wait a minute...

for me the old entmoot days were oh I'd say last week? lol. I do have hopes of being around to reminisce with you all

[trolls' bane]

Well, lemme tell ya, Prince, some time before I immigrated from Poland in 1922 --eight and a half decades ago--(I was there, however, when Hitler invaded. I was the one who flew to Britain to have tea with my buddy Winston, where I believe I was the one who convinced him to fight back against Hitler), whilst on vacation in Lisbon, I journeyed to Buenos Aries with a fellow named Candide, his girlfriend, and an old woman who claimed to have only one buttock. In Buenos Aries, I met the governor, Don Fernando d'Ibaraa y Figueora y Mascarenes y Lampourdos y Souza, a noble man with a stateliness befitting one with so many names. His cook taught me how to make onion rings, a recipe, he claimed, he had had it of an old countess, who had received it from a cavalry captain, who owed it to a marchioness, who took it from a page, who had received it from a Jesuit, who when a novice had it in a direct line from one of the companions of Christopher Columbus.
After I emigrated from Poland, sometime in the sixties I moved to the Coachella Valley, in Southern California, which at the time was filled Ethan, an anti-communist (we put aside our differences after the war) and quite the avid guitarist, living off the land and riding the trolleys around, occasionally visiting Walt Disney at his favorite vacation resort in La Quinta. Now, these orange groves extended as far as the eye could see! (And then some.) But anyway, Ethan and I used to wear onion rings on our belts because that was the fashionable thing to do in those days, possibly in part due to the Spanish explorers sent north by Governor Don Fernando d'Ibaraa y Figueora y Mascarenes y Lampourdos y Souza upon my suggestion, who I later found out played a major role, along with some relatives of my friend, Mao Tse Tung, in building the railroad and the major station in Indio, which burned down some time after I moved there.

Not back in those days. It must've been one of those things that died, like the onion ring fashion trend that used to exist right under my very feet.
