[The Peng Challenge Thread: We Were Here When It All Began]

Spent a long, long time here. Wrote a lot of nonsense. Met a lot of fine folks, some of whom I still talk to. This was a wonderful place, full of wit, panache, bile, horrid jokes, funny songs, idiots and savants.

And dreams. Lots and lots of dreams.

Honestly, back in the day, this thread was pretty incredible. And getting to meet some of these lot in real life, was pretty ok too.

You can blame Berli for bringing me here. Seems a bit weird that he's been gone for almost a year. And Boo, I know deep down, you were writing about me in the post I quoted. Appreciate it.

[The Peng Challenge Thread: Some one get me a drink, and tell me what's going on, eh?]

I don't frequent here much anymore . But it was Berli who brought me here. It was Berli who I worked with for many years when we were both in newspapers. It was Berli who introduced me to many of you. I won't hold that against him. And it was also Berli who influenced my love of Apple products. We have stayed in contact through social media but I haven't seen him in ages. But rarely does a day go by in which I am not reminded of his influence on me. I am beyond sad. He was a good soul. Those are rare these days. And I will refuse to sit when told to. Instead, I will stand in his honor.

THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! The Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread is the province ... or provenance ... or provolone, I forget which ... of the Beloved Justicar for Life of the Peng Challenge Thread and he alone, which is to say I alone, will decide who is and is not a member of said Justicariate of the Peng Challenge Thread.

You may rest assured that it will not be a Goobernational and that rules both of these clowns out.

Joe

Pick me, pick me!

I've got to say, I'm mildly disappointed at the venom I'm feeling at my return. Have you lot lost your touch? And what is this tripe about Boo and olde one status? Yeah, couldn't bother reading most of this sad thread. Unlike most of you, I actually work for a living. Now, I must go and pray for your sad, pitiful souls.

Hello boys! Miss me?

Hello ladies! Miss me?

I heard mention of Rune's bottom some time ago and thought I'd pay a visit. So how are all of the lovelies doing? It's beginning to look like an old folks home in here.

What has happened to the boards? They're all new looking and pretty. Me likey the old one better. This is far too modern. I feel like I need lessons on how to use these new boards.

Oh... right, right, right... I seem to remember something like that. I think I dozed off a few minutes into it.

I'd usually fast forward until I got to the interesting parts of the show.

MY parts.

Yeah, he did one with me & Seanachai too, but it was stolen by ninjas. </font>

Could it be that Joe is your father?

Drippy Dicky? shooting incident? half assed? You can't possibly expect to use this combination of words in sentence and NOT expect me to comment on this? Drippy Dicky is bad enough.......this is potty humor heaven or grog porn. I'm not sure which.

He's become quite the 'curiosity' with the locals.

As always, we should blame Boo.

Boy, I am tired. I originally thought this said "Joe had been stuck in the butt." I mean really, what Joe does for fun is nobody's business but the sticker and the stickee (pitcher or catcher?) Miss me?

Why the hell is HeyAbbott! back? Did I do something wrong?

I think we all must have ... I blame the three MBTs on one page.

I suspect that they opened a rift in the fabric of time/space (probably corduroy ) and allowed a temporal and possibly lobotomized anomaly to escape ... in other words ... Abbott.

The Evil Monarch has been reassigned to Colorado. I'm amazed there hasn't been a huge thawing out taking place in the mountain region of that dreadful place.

Look at Seanachai droppoing a little Ian Hunter on my first thing in the morning. Mad props.

I'll work up something and try to include him. There are several true stories that involving that filthy swine that the statute of limitations hasn't been reached on yet. Maybe I could just change the names.

Wow, Elvis you've had more multi-syllabic postings in one thread than I can remember in ages. Did you make a New Year's resolution to wank less?

Hmmm, who might the old crusty one be talking about?

I miss you too Berli. And for the record, I have seen him in a hat, a fedora I believe.

[I Never Stopped Hating You: The Peng Challenge Thread Story]

What's with all the nice-nice being played in this gawd-awful thread? Good morning this and thank you that. It's rather pathetic. Then again, this is the MBT and pathetic is its namo, but this is worse than worse. This is beginning to feel like a thread run by SSNs. Sad, very sad.

OK, you idjits. I know this is a loaded question since most of you couldn't spell PBS, but have any of you been watching the Ken Burns documentary on PBS (spelled it twice for the really stoopid people in the pool) called "The War." If not, give it a looksy. It's really incredible. And now back to your regular programming.

It's all the fault of the "Others Recognized" ... we had a nice little place here until THEY showed up.

Did we really?

I always was under the belief that crap is still crap, no matter how much crappier the crap is that you add to the crap. Follow me?

And no one ... not ONE of you, have seen fit to even say happy birthday to your Beloved Justicar for Life of the Peng Challenge Thread.

If I weren't universally beloved I'd get my feelings hurt ... but I am so I'll chalk it up to the normal weekend inebriation.

Joe

Happy one day closer to death! As they say, you're not getting older, you're getting........actually, in your case Joe, you're getting older. Happy birthday!
