Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :

Yep, I'm back for good. It all went slightly awry in Spain, I got evicted from my apartment, which is the short answer. But it wasn't my fault that the guy I was renting it from decided to fly over from Ireland at a moment's notice and move in - and about 6 months early. It was also impossible to find new accommodation at this time of year, even a holiday let.

All this means that I had to fly back home. And that, as they say, is that. Never mind, but I really was starting to miss my computer, big time, and my website, and all of you guys. So now I can get back to the real issue at hand: discussing endless minutiae, yeh ha, it's great to back.

And I missed you all...

Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :

Who are you again?

Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :

Jees, I've only been gone six weeks....!

Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :

I don't remember you. I think you're lying.

Posted by Hobbes (Member # 138) on :

That's okay, I was gone for 5 months and they never even noticed me leaving. [Razz]

Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :

Well I'm sure some people appreciate me!! LOL

This was the thread from when I left...

Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :

Don't feel too bad. No Flarite ever went AWOL without drawing some attention. As a matter of fact I seem to recall you posting a very sentimental farewell message [which I see you've managed to dig up] [Smile]

So, uh, welcome back.

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

How was your time in Spain, though, other than that?

Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :

Spain was just fine, everything was going great until I had to vacate the apartment... No matters though, perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. I'm back now and it's time to get on with life.

Anyway, those that may not recognise my name, I've been a member here for a fair while now, and it just might be that they don't visit or post in the forums that I regularly visit. The main three for me being: General Trek, Starships and Technology, and Designs and Artwork...

Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :

So, I hope that you didn't get warped by that Spanish Cartoon Network, airing the XXX PowerPuff Girls...

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Although I assume that everyone knows that I was joking about that, I will just make it clear at this point that it was all a big fib.

(And if you think I'm being silly, I will point out that Jeff thought I was gay for about 8 months based on a joke.)

How were the foxy Spanish seniorettas?

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

Glad to see you're back. I was getting tired of one newbie who irritated almost everyone here, especially Snay who kept thinking (saying) he was MIB. To tell the truth, sometimes I half-believed the same thing.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :

And by "almost everyone here" he means about a handful, of course.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that you're back. Dukhat is in the Starship/Tech forum sending love sonnets to Rob Legato, so there's interesting reading over there. Here in the Officers Lounge, Liam is showing us the secret, dirty world of the Powerpuff Girls.

Now for the big question: what fun and exciting things did you do in Spain? Go sightseeing at all? Please share the details!

Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :

Dat, I may have shut up about it, but I don't disbelieve my earlier claims.

Who are all you people? I recognize none of you -- NONE! You're imposters, all!

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Y'know, when I glanced at the title of this thread, I thought it said "I'm Black people".

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

Unless he is, but I really don't think he is. BTW, this is not meant to be an insult to anyone including RA and black people.

Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :

You fibbed??? Well, I just won't add you to the list of worthwhile Brits than.... [Wink]

(I guess a "no shit" is okay to use...)

And Red Adm., yes, welcome back, and may we enjoy more of your images... I do like the Checkov...

Would it interest you to know that whatever hostilities between me and Dat have ceased? That me are not enimies (if you could call it that) like we were? When I was annoying?

Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :

Yes, we are glad that you are not at odds with yourself... or DAT, or Jeff...

Use of past tense, interesting....

Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :

Red,

I really don't give a flying fuck.

Posted by Red BWC (Member # 818) on :

Past tense, oh boy, I feel like singing a song!!!

*starts singing*
I smell turkey!
Tuna fish!
Big beef jerkey!
Patato Canish!
I smell onions!
Pizza too!
The dog needs washing!
And so do you!
It smells like,
What does it smell like Space Ghost?
It smells like!
Boxer Shorts??
Oh no, It smells like!
Whaaaatt?
It smells like Cartoon Planet. Whoo-wee

Zorak, prison pod, Brak, Brak,
Barnyard animal!
Oink!
Quack!
Zorak, upside down!
Sing it fuzzy!
I'm a little teapot short and stout..
Oh it smells like!
Pork and beans?
It smells like!
Ice cream cones?
Oh it smells like!
Whaaaaaatttt?
It smaells like Cartoon Planet! Ah..
*stops singing and starts listening to heavy metal real loud*

Geez, having to reply to my one quote because I can no longer edit (the time to do so expired)

Anyway, so that nobody takes this statement the wrong way, I meant no insult to Red (as he already knows) and that this was in the past. As Red already said, there are no longer any hostilities between us.

Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :

What? You have an unguarded border? You don't have nukes and M-16 carbines aimed at him? Ooooh. Ooooh.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

BWC is on crack. It's the only explanation.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :

Everyone just needs to be sodomized by a giant Prozac pill.

Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :

I wouldn't rule out shrooms, actually.

Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :

Just ask Simon, when he's ten feet tall....

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Not "tall". "Long".

What the hells an RA person?

Posted by Thoughtchopper (Member # 480) on :

Red Admiral?

Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :

To answer everything:

Snay: No-one confuses me more on this forum than you. Lol. I have never known anyone as dry and sarcastic as you - and that's saying something, I'm a Brit.

Red BWC: I haven't met you before, so I can't comment. You're obviously new here.

Note: 'Red', is my nickname, I had it first. So to avoid any confusion, you should be referred to as BWC, whatever that stands for...

Ritten: Powerpuff girls.... please enlighten me

PsyLiam: Spanish seniorettas?? - oh plenty of those pal. Mostly wild, drunken, up-for-anything British girls on holiday mainly. It's a lot more fun out there than it is at home, I can tell you that...!

Siegy: For the most part, just refer to previous comments I made to Psy. Sightseeing? Not much to see really. Sea, sand, and many many bars mainly. And I 'saw' plenty of those...

TSN: I'm not black, I'm white, not that there would be any problem with being black though...

Ritten: Glad you like the Checkov. Now the pod is more 'accurate' I plan on doing a more updated series of renders for the new version.

Y'know, I doubt either of you are mentioned often enough to cause any confusion in the first place. And certainly the context will make the addressed obvious. But since I'm so terribly enthralled by the dismally banal world of forum handles, and the quoted passage does not indicate any need whatsoever for the originator to go outside, I've changed mine.

Posted by Red Ultra CaptainMike Pym (Member # 709) on :

we will amuse ourselves in 5... 4.. 3.. 2.. 1..

we are now amusing ourselves.

I wouldn't have cracked down too hard on the Checkov thing but its like the fifth time this week someone's done it! Checkoff's Lost Missions is not a Star Trek game! i realize that you didnt screw it up those other times..

the other times it was misspelled, i am pointing my finger at the ACLU, at the feminists, at the homosexuals, at those who try to secularize our nation.. you made this mis-spelling possible!

Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :

It was nothing, Liam fibbed about XXX PowerPuff Girls on the Spanish Cartoon Network... [Wink]

Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :

Actually my Chekov's Lost Missions disk says "Checov's Lost Missions" on the side...

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :

Maybe I ought to change my publicly displayed name to "The Red Ultra Captain Snayfried Pym Capps BWC Admiral Hooters." Then no one would know who I am, but I can keep my member number.

Actually, Red is not a nickname for me, it is my real name.

BWC? That's been so long ago I forgot what it was.

Posted by Red ThoughtPym (Member # 480) on :

You don't remember where you got your handle/nickname from?

Well...

In order to clean up my language here on the forum, I will reply to that in code:

WTFIWWY?

Posted by Redneck BWC (Member # 818) on :

Ahh, thank you Thoughty!

Breached Warp Coil/Core (your preference!!!)

Posted by Red ThoughtPym (Member # 480) on :

That's all you had to do. Thanks.

It's good to show anger sometimes. I calculate you'll get better at it. Most people do.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :

As everyone begins adopting publicly displayed names similar to everyone else, I find myself slipping into insanity as I try to keep everyone apart in my feeble mind.

Just call my the Pompatus of Gravy, folks.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Yes. Good thing this has never been done before, eh?

Posted by Colorless Cartman (Member # 256) on :

I could sure use some of Rob's (assuming familiarity...) renowned eidetic memory right about now.

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

w00t! I'm off to Madrid for the weekend. Leaving tomorrow for se�oritas, sun, 35 degrees. Weather's been crappy in Holland for most of July and I Can't. Fucking. Wait.

Posted by Just Harry (Member # 265) on :

Hey.. didn't know you were Dutch too [Smile]

. Any more people secretly Dutch here? I know Cartman and Jernau.

Posted by Red Ultra CaptainMike Pym (Member # 709) on :

secret Dutch people? i smell a conspiracy!

Posted by Grokca (Member # 722) on :

I just spent a week and a half in Holland. The weather wasn't that bad.(for Holland) 25-28 degrees on Saturday wonderfull for motorcycle riding.

Posted by Red Magnus Pymster (Member # 239) on :

The Holland Hezbollah. Terribly frightening.

Posted by Colorless Cartman (Member # 256) on :

Hashbollah.

And damn proud of it, too.

Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :

Well THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I now have "Secret Agent Man" stuck in my head.

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

Actually, I'm not Dutch. I'm Irish, I came over to work with ESA for a year (finishing in September, *sniff*). Great country, though.

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

...and I�m now in Madrid, safe and sound, at one of those EasyInternet places. Found a hostel, pretty cheap (25euros). The area is absolutely full of whores. Some of them are alright, too [Big Grin]

Damn! The assholes at this place filter content, I�m trying to get onto Yahooka forums to ask if anyone knows about getting a bit of pot safely here. I�m off it now but seeing as I�m here I want to see the Reina Sofia museum, which has a Salvador Dali exhibit, and I think it might be best appreciated with a bit of THC in the system.

Posted by Red Magnus Pymster (Member # 239) on :

~~YAY!!!~~

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

Screw you, shithead. Anyway, I�ve found out that Malasa�a is the place to go.

Posted by Red Magnus Pymster (Member # 239) on :

~~YAY!!!~~

Posted by Colorless Cartman (Member # 256) on :

~~HOORAY!~~

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

are they chocolate salty balls, like chef used to make?

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

No, just salty. It�s kind of hot here.

Oh, let me guess,

YAY!!!

Posted by Red Magnus Pymster (Member # 239) on :

No. No.

~~YAY!!!~~

Needed: Underline, and Times New Roman. Size = 6 also helps.

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :

Huh? What sort of Internet filtering program has a block on "pot" but not on profanity?

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

It seems to be specific sites. Doesn�t block Google groups, though.

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

More importantly, why is general penguin-related tomfoolery grounds for the double-dumb-ass-on-you, and so on?

Posted by Red ThoughtPym (Member # 480) on :

Drugs will ruin your life. Be careful.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Not very mellow for a pothead, is he?

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

Actually, I�m not a pothead anymore. I just thought the Dali exhibits might be enhanced with the herb, that�s all. But if people resent my writing about it here I�ll stop.

Posted by Red ThoughtPym (Member # 480) on :

Denial. Classic sign.

Posted by Fuchsia Ritten (Member # 417) on :

That, and if we stopped posting what other people resented... Well, it would be awfully quiet here....

All CCs work for nothing....

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

Alright, Thoughtcriminal, I appreciate and accept your warning and all, I do know that cannabis can be a double-edged sword.

Posted by Magnus Pym Eye (Member # 239) on :

"Sharp" mightn't be the best adjective to use when in a discussion of, how the kids say, "doobies."

Posted by Prismatic EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :

"enjoyable" is the adjective i would use, but then, i like absinthe.

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

It�s not always enjoyable, not for me, anyway. Today, case in point (Perhaps not everyone will want to read on, it�s just about a bad experience I had today).

After a nice few hours exploring the city during the day, well, let�s just say I came across some stuff. I decided to go to the Reina Sofia, and I spent a good hour and a half or so looking around (I had smoked one at this point), but mainly Salvador Dali�s stuff. I went back to the hostel and smoked another three (which, of course, was just asking for trouble), then started thinking about Dali�s pictures, whereupon I proceeded to have one the worst whities of my life. The pictures affected me pretty deeply, but not in a positive way, those paintings are so horrible and tortured and twisted (although fascinating in a distasteful way), I knew it was weird stuff and that I was taking a risk by smoking but I couldn�t have anticipated the strength of my reaction. I was basically lying on the bed having sort of nightmares and feeling very unwell. I�ve had this type of experience before 2 or 3 times, and I admit I really should know better (well, I do know better, I just did a stupid thing). The only reason I�m writing this here is that these experiences are followed by a time of fragility, and it helps if I get it off my chest, even if I get flamed.

Posted by Prismatic EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :

i've smoked a lot, and the only reaction i've ever had is coughing and a general sense of mellowness and well being (and hunger). oh well.

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

It was usually enjoyable for me, too, as long as I was in comfortable surroundings and in the right frame of mind. But the few bad experiences are something I�d wish on noone.

Posted by Prismatic EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :

i'm sorry you've had bad experiences. all of my drug experiences have been totally positive. never a bad trip, and never a bad high. i guess stuff affects different people in different ways.

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

True, true, but good for you, man.

Posted by Magnus Pym Eye (Member # 239) on :

Good for you indeed. Good for all of us, and exciting, too.

Oh, welcome back, Red Admiral. Good too see you're posting your models and such in the Design forum. At least something is interesting.

Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :

I suspect Dali would be pleased. And then he would put a flowerpot on his head.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Next time, drop acid and go to an Hieronymous Bosch exhibit...

Posted by The Red Admiral (Member # 602) on :

Hmm, this thread seems to have gone a bit sideways...

So have you been to any Spanish 'Nightclubs' Jernau? And being in Spain you'll know what I mean.... [Wink]

Posted by Springfield Armory Snay (Member # 411) on :

Do they have any Dayclubs over there? I figured Spain being part of Europe, and therefore more progressive then the US, they'd be all the rage.

Welcome back Red Admiral! When'd you get back? Good to see ya'.

Posted by BWC (Member # 818) on :

Damn those Mexicans!

Posted by Red Ultra CaptainMike Pym (Member # 709) on :

What the fuck? I've just reviewed the previous few pages and can find no reason why you are damning Mexicans.

Posted by BWC (Member # 818) on :

Thread now offically hijacked. [Big Grin]

Posted by Colorful Cartman (Member # 256) on :

You're killing me with your hilarious jokes. Please stop.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Can I ban him? Please?

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

He probably read my sig and took it from there.

BTW, stop being so childish, BWC. You're bad points are beginning to outwiegh your good points.

Posted by Magnus Pym Eye (Member # 239) on :

Good Points?

Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :

Jeff... the first post, RAs starting one.... posted July 22, 2002 11:46

About that time anyway...

Good point #1... he does leave....
Good point #2... he isn't here all the time...

Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :

#3 - Target Practice?

Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

Red Admiral: Nah, didn�t get round to going to any clubs but I heard they go on til 9 or 10 in the morning sometimes. Went to a bullfight, though, now there�s entertainment for you right there. I�d normally consider myself pro animal rights, but I really enjoyed this.
