You only think it's the best because I haven't been around much lately.

Just wait -- I'm thinking of making a comeback.

Then you'll see...

Fourthsies. Oh wait...scott, dino...hmmm, gotta think on this. Ok yeah, it'll do!

Scott_Ruecker · Dec 13, 2010 11:12 PM EST

Yeah, just wait till Dino gets going again..

Love you man. ;-)

Let me know when the group hug is done...

Scott_Ruecker · Dec 13, 2010 11:17 PM EST

Awww, because I am never hugging you gus3..ever.

LOL!

There you go Jimbauwens......Told ya it was a great group of people (well, I implied it anyway !) And we need dissenting views too ~ so quit protesting Dino and Gus3. On the basis of the above, the prosecution rests M'Lud.

jimbauwens · Dec 14, 2010 3:52 AM EST

Its a great group of people, and I'm happy to be part of it :) Comments here actually make sense most of the time, and when they don't make sense, they are funny in a nice way.

That group hug made me feel all gooey inside. ...wait just a minute... where's my wallet?

dinotrac · Dec 14, 2010 6:35 AM EST

@HoTMetaL -

Sorry dude. Here it is. Old habits and all that, y'know?

TxtEdMacs · Dec 14, 2010 12:25 PM EST

>Scott

Quoting:Awww, because I am never hugging you gus3..ever.

But I thought, gus had only true, secret love of fonts. It's somewhere here in the database under August Gus III ... where he was outed. However, my quick search did not find the reference I sought. Suppressed by LXer??!!

Scott this proves you always liked him better than I.

@MBT:

Ambiguity noted.

> Old habits and all that, y'know?

Yeah, Dino, we know. We forgive you for having been a lawyer. :)

dinotrac · Dec 14, 2010 3:26 PM EST

@jdixon -

Unforgivable though it may be...

At least I never ran for office.

jdixon · Dec 14, 2010 3:49 PM EST

> At least I never ran for office.

Of course not. I would never stoop to accusing you of anything that low.

Ridcully · Dec 14, 2010 4:35 PM EST

Awww heck.......since we are all being nice to each other (despite missing wallets) and even if there's a week to go, this seems to be the best place for something rather appropriate :

Merry Christmas everybody and best wishes for the New Year.

jimbauwens · Dec 14, 2010 4:39 PM EST

The same to everyone from me!

dinotrac · Dec 14, 2010 6:37 PM EST

@Ridcully -

Mercy! All of this cuddliness might ignite poor little (American Bar Association approved) coal lump of a heart.

Ridcully · Dec 14, 2010 6:50 PM EST

Oh go on Dinotrac........I am sure if I approached them that the American Bar Association would declare that you're an old softie.....a sort of redeemed Ebenezar Scrooge.. :-) Now, who's Bob Cratchit ? Jacob Marley ?

Scott_Ruecker · Dec 15, 2010 9:44 PM EST

Ok ok ok, I promise to hug everyone..geez.

;-)

May I second that motion? LXer is *truly* open to all opinions and stories. Unlike some others who sometimes have a significant bias. Kudos!
