And so, once again, one and all, I have returned. Doubtful if I'll still be remembered, what with my last appearance 2 years hence almost now. Curious as to who I will remember that remains, as well as new faces to find joy in, but I digress. It is a joy to have finally returned.
After all, regardless of time, how could I forget the place who's lessons have served so well over these long days.

Ahhhh.... Sir Random! A pleasure to have you returning to the fold! Always nice to have a prodigal son return!
Alas, unfortunately, I'm afraid I must ban you for using the word "joy" twice in one sentence in the OP. To use the word only once would have been pushing the limits, but using the word twice is most certainly beyond acceptability and cannot be tolerated. Be gone with thee, until thou hast learned proper literary etiquette!
(Oh, by the way, in case you missed the memo, DO NOT go near the bathroom if you see a banana peel on the doorknob. It means Cog is in there... *shudder*...)
Edit to add: Oh, and Old Man's trike riding skills have gotten WORSE. Not even sure how that was possible, but it happened nonetheless. Just be aware.
My good man of tin, as much as it bothers me to take away such a triumphant challenge upon my return, I must point out you missed (or chose to ignore, but I'd sell my own fingernail trimmings before assume tin of your gage would stoop so low) the miniscule period of separation between the two uses of "joy". Alas, I cannot particularly say it justifies it still, but if there's one lesson I've learned, it's that bending of expectations and rules is far more effective than following, and far more appreciable than breaking. Regardless, thank you so very much for the warm welcome.
And oh dear. I thought we were on the process of installing a better warning indicator than that for our bathroom, but I suppose the budget for that idea ran out when I did. A pity.
Not only that, but Old Man as well? Blast, I go away for 2 years and come back and all of one person has had their skills in some area decrease? Unacceptable! Old Man should be capable of riding his trike backwards while flying a fighter jet upside down in the skies of Jupiter's Great Red Spot by now!
@Sir Random Re: "I must point out you missed (or chose to ignore, but I'd sell my own fingernail trimmings before assume tin of your gage would stoop so low) the miniscule period of separation between the two uses of "joy"."
Hah! My ever-decreasing visual acuity is no excuse for your blatant misuse of the word "joy". But I dare not assume you would intentionally or maliciously take advantage of this tin clanker's failing eyesight. In your youth, you shall make mistakes. It is the natural order of things, and it is a proven method by which we learn best. You are forgiven this time. Now, go forth and sin no more!... *sudden look of realization*... Wait... What the hell did I just say???.... Sin no more?... Aw, geez... Disregard that part. Sin all you want. Just try to avoid making stupid mistakes.
Sup, nice to meet you, I'm mikhael the resident neurotic, welcome back
Nice to meet you as well Mikhael, pleasure to see a new face around, although I'm sure there will be many more.
@RE: OP - Okay okay, just keep calm. Welcome back! No reason to go all joyful on us and piss everyone off. Nothing is more distracting than some happy asshole bouncing up and down with joy when we are trying trash the last moronic theist post that appeared on the site.
You can have the seat in the corner over there, Tin Man has the cookies, and he is a bit of an ass about sharing. If you want a drink you have to bring your own. Sorry! Old man was in charge of the spirits and they just never made it from the liquor store to the AR forum. When Old Man got out of the holding tank, he said that he could not remember what happened to all the booze. On the other hand, a police report concerning a naked trike rider trying to push his way into the Matterhorn Bobsled ride at Disney Land and insisting he could make it from the top of the mountain to the bottom, and who had a blood alcohol level 5 times that of normal intoxication has left us all highly suspicious. I am digressing. Welcome to the site.... stop the infernal giggling and have a seat.
Hi Random
Welcome home. Don't believe a word from those two reprobate. My trike riding skills are much improved and I have been coaching the Minrovian Olympics Team in Balletic Trike. Regards the 'missing" liqiour, well, rohipnol, a beautiful bonobo and a thing for men in uniform all combined with unforseen consequences. And a night in the sober tank where all my booze was stolen. I did replace every bottle, (with Tin Man's money) so all is good.
Don't accept a banana from Cog, it is probably laced......
Welcome home with much joy.....
Welcome back Sir Random!
I look forward to your contribution to the discussion/debate here.
Welcome back, Sir!
Welcome home, Sir Random.
