Too right, and if this is off here I might start a birthday rememberance thread, and people can add their own for their loved ones who have passed.
Ponders on the idea now.






*note to self put a reminder on to make a new thread next year*

Default Mak Attack
Mak Attack

I don't know how many people are running around wearing Maksutovs avatar, but it's messing with my head.
For one, you identify the avatar with an individual. So my first reaction is "Mak just posted"
My second reaction is, "No, that's not possible."

The third is to then try to discern WHICH flippin' imposter just talked.

Alright!
I feel like I'm surrounded by familiar faces again.
I was about to apologize to CosmicDave if that kept up...

one day they will discover a bit of amber with a mosquito in it, that lived near Mak's house, and resurrect him.

Aw, son of a gun... I've been pretty light on participation around here lately, and I just found out.

I'd say RIP, Mak, but I'm sure you're stirring up trouble somewhere even as I type. Add me to the list of people that miss you around here.

Is it only me or do some of you get a mini-sad/somber secession when you open a running thread and Mak is one of the earlier posters. It always hit me that the person who wrote this funny/zanny words is gone.
