So, have I missed anything?

1. Not a thing. All is bright and beautiful.

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. Okay, wait...

What planet is this?

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Whoa?

How long were you gone? Hard to keep track of members who drop out and drop in?

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. About 15 years

Got kicked off Fascistbøk about a week ago. Looked around for a new hang before clicking my heels together three times... with some trepidation.

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. Welcome back.

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. Thanks

I don't remember much (you're Susan, yes?). Hope I can get back my groove.

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. No, Sheila, not Susan.

But you got the first letter of the name right!

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. I've always been terrible

with names. I'll probably remember 90 percent of the usernames I knew Back Then, but associating them with real names... well, that's gonna be rare.

Also, I forget where the bathroom is.

13. Take the hall on the left, third door on the right. You mght have noticed

that some expansion and remodeling has happened while you were gone.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. First door on the right.

4. Not really sure. Pretty sure not the one I thought I was on.

[niyad]

14. Exactly.

10. I remember you. If you remember

Oscar the Mixed Animal (from 2004), there's a book (novel) all about him, just published. Good to see you, OR.

[Scrivener7]

11. A book about Oscar?? Is there merch??

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. Nope.

Just the book, scriv. I always think of Bartleby when i see your name. Are you volunteering to handle the merch?

[Scrivener7]

18. Oh man! That's tempting, but I prefer not to. Nudge, nudge.

What is the book and where can we find it? Oscar is one of those moments that makes life meaningful.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

19. I prefer not to say.

JK!

Here's the link i guide people toward because they contribute to indie bookstores and you can even choose where their contribution goes, by clicking "Choose a Bookstore":

Of course it's on amazon (where you can read 6 chapters) and elsewhere. Thanks, scriv! If you get it i hope you enjoy it. -Richard

[Scrivener7]

20. Thank you!

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Good to be seen

I do not recall such a critter, though. I joined shortly after the 2004 elections. (Odd now to think of how bad we thought that was.)

17. We wouldnt have believed it,

if somebody had told us. Then again, some did tell us, like Zappa and Carlin.
