Eerie and unnaturally calm. Where's Retro Rocket!
« on: May 18, 2016, 09:41:19 PM »
Maybe I'm just paranoid but things have been unnaturally peaceful around here and it doesn't feel right. This kind of calm can't be tolerated. Has anyone heard from Retro? Would be nice to have him back dusting things up a bit. Who's close and can swing by to give him a nudge?

Along the same theme, what has become of TwoTired? His posts were always excellent but he was last active a year ago last January! I hope we haven't lost him to the final long bike ride above. :(

I think you're right Duster.

TT is alive and well. I'll leave it at that.

TT was always clever. Retro is like a pit bull. I have never seen either lose an argument. Always got their point across.

Right, wrong or just for the sake of arguing, that point always gets across with retro

Ditto. I was wondering about him the other day.

TwoTired is too tired....of the same old thing. He's been walkabout before, but I don't imagine he'll be back this time.

Same same with Dave. He told me he was sick of butting heads over the same issues.

Just gotta make your point and leave it without intentionally pissing someone off. And that is from both sides of any potential issue. No need to argue. I learned during #3. LOL.
