Grieving is a process both physical and mental. Just be patient with yourself. Someone will restock you, and sure enough you'll be helping people with their crap again in no time. So chin up little guy, and remember to keep your flap rolling away from the wall.

No No,...it must be towards the wall, otherwise your cats will come in and unroll the roll. Friggin cats. :mad:

I do believe that today is the day that mike announces the essay contest winners.

If I recall correctly first place gets a toy blimp. Second place, gets an autographed picture of mike's middle finger. Third place... gets to share the next ear of corn with Phalex. Good luck to everyone who entered!!!

True, the contest has ended (depending on your time zone), but you'll notice in the rules that I'll announce a winner whenever I got around to it. I've a busy next couple of days and I'm getting old. I have to schedule benders now. I'm going to have to be half lit to read these in the right context. This much I can tell you: nutso lost.

I don't think this comes as a surpised to anyone. Even so, the Blimp Giveaway contest I started in that forum will proceed as advertised. The literary works of genius, however, will likely cease to be updated and the First Annual Gathering of Mikes GTG (nametags optional) I had in the works is not gonna happen, either.

Per the original rules of the contest, all essays should be sumbitted via PM.

Hmph. I was wondering how it got opened in the first place. I figured you were some kind of wizard hacker. Either that or you had pictures of jt with those chickens.

I have clearly missed something...

Yes, you have. For a brief and fleeting moment, everything that is right with the universe fell into place. Chris Fitzgerald had to go pee and was forced to take his left middle finger off the "Ban Mike_v_s" button. While he was away, Paul slipped and hit his head and, in what can only be described as a moment of sheer clarity of vision and purpose, gave me my own forum.

Obviously, it succeeded in ways that the English language can't do justice to. The first post of this thread outlines some of the landmark happenings on my forum. Days later, Paul was released from the hospital and realized that my forum was robust enought to warrant renaming this place to TalkMike_v_s. Unfortuntely, advertisers were faced with the fact that they couldn't compete with my forum's only export: awesome, so Paul was forced to accept second best, retain "TalkBass" and erase my forum so that the temptation could never get the best of him.

As it sits, the link in my sig gives the only window available to this internet utopia. I'll be grading the submitted essays over the next few days and mailing out prizes. Following that, i'll probably delete the link and forever seal off the portal to my forum. I will, however, make sure it can be accessible for future generations so that when the time is right and all of society is choking on internet content like air without oxygen, a suitable successor can unlock the goodness that will allow our children and our children's children to experience what few here have....just like when Arnold unlocked the oxygen machine in Total Recall.

Can I send in a late essay because I didn't know about this?

You can send one in, but I'm generally a man of my word when it comes to contest rules. You might get lucky and cause me to create an Honorable Mention prize or your essay might be used to paper train my brother-in-law's new puppy, Chew-Bacchus. I'm guessing whether or not you think the risk is worth it depends on how much you like writing about air ships.

Sounds like they finally put some decent TP in the dispenser instead of that generic stuff.
