I guess you missed this other welcome back thread. So you probably don't know who else has made a reappearance. Ooooo the anticipation...

I'm sure quonsar appreciates the welcome back sentiment all around, but let's not track him too closely. A MeTa post over one wisecrack? I'm not sure if round-the-clock coverage is exactly what one needs after notoriety, a troubled exit, a long absence, and a much-trumpeted return. I could be wrong (don't know him personally or anything) but I say let the man breathe fer crikey's sake.

Oops, didn't see the other thread. MiguelCardoso is back as well... Metafilter's going all retro on me now. I didn't see the previous comment because it was in a deleted thread. Oh well. I guess I'll flag my own thread.

Yes, good, two threads - cos, you know, quonsar really needs the ego boost.
posted by nthdegx at 12:27 AM on October 22, 2005

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY OR DO.

YOU ARE STANDING AT A SMALL CLEARING OUTSIDE OF A RATHER RUN DOWN QUONSARIAN HUT CONTAINING A NATIVE QUONSARIAN AND A SMALL ANGRY DOG.

THERE IS A DISTURBING LACK OF PANTS HERE. THERE ARE EXITS: NORTH, EAST, IN, DOWN AND OUT.

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
We watch the shows -- we watch the stars
On glowing screens for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
Internet was new--
