It was a standup comedian from the 80s but as Karl knows I might be really wrong about the time frame (thinking of Beethoven Masur).

Yakov Smirnoff that's it!  Funny enough I didn't google autocompletion answered my question!

There are now two seasons in Minnesota: Snow and Tornado.

A memorable quote from R. K. Narayan's The Bachelor of Arts: Madras is hot for ten months in the year and hotter for two. (Madras, until 1996, was the name of Chennai. And currently, we're in the middle of those two months.)

You are at least blessed with variety, Dave.

I think it's from the Russian lolcats site . . . .

I can has queue for ersatz cheezburger?

I really lost some of the pleasure posting here, thanks to people like Florestan, Tony etc.

It just seems impossible to discuss things in a normal way, without being attacked or trapped.

Florestan calls me a "lad", Philoctetes calls me a "fucktard". I don't accept this.

It´s because there´s no alternative, I keep on posting here. But GMG is not a great place more for me, I´m sorry to say. There are unpleasant people here.

This is supposedly how Florestan and Tony wanted to make me feel about GMG. They have reached their goal.

No alternative? You're not required to post on any forum, as far as I know.

Paulb still posts on the Amazon forums. Maybe you'd fit in there.

Moi?       

[karlhenning]

There were complaints of a whining sound ... anyone noticed any messianic-trending threads lately?

[Henk]

Bye bye people.

[Mn Dave]

He'll be back and I'll be glad to see him.

[Mn Dave]

I blame all this on Florestan. Or The Evil Snare as we like to call him.

[Mn Dave]

But even he's no match for Forum Bully Karl Henning.  0:)

[karlhenning]

Hmm, whining's stopped. I'll tell engineering . . . .

[Churchmouse]

Forum bullies are just cowards, sitting behind their screens.
And cussin shouldn't be allowed either.  There may be ladies present!

I agree.

[Mn Dave]

Keyboard warriors I call 'em. 

[karlhenning]

Bzzzzzt.

Oh boy a nice warm sunny day I sure love summer.

It's summertime and the living is easy...
