such a travesty. if I wasn't too broke to be making contributions, I would be on the phone with them telling them to not expect their next installment

I thought Fox hired him, not NPR hired back. Or did I miss something?

If it is against their rules of employment, regardless of how stupid we may think they are, they have every right to fire him. Unless, of course, the rules are illegal.

In the original spirit of the post - If you think about it, MR has never been a very friendly place. We have Adrian, DGma's stick, sqwirls, proactive chickens, loaded trebuchets, Llounge Llamas (watch it, they spit), blue ones next to fishes (and we've never determined what KIND of fish...great white shark, perhaps?) ZCD's (which can be hazardous to one's health, even though you won't notice), Marc's repeated warnings about being eaten by a grue, the previously mentioned Rock Lobster killing off mods, SHUMS, and let's not forget the hyperbolic vent and rant thread.

With all that, it's a wonder any of us survive to enjoy the place! :P

Well, that explains the smiley part, although I can't justify the torches. Now if it had been a hanged man, maybe not so many smiles...

(Please, no grammar arguments... I'm just trying to be funny! )
Thank you I was about to point that out... on the other hand well... it might not require any pointing out... almost by definition these things speak for themselves.

Maybe Rock Lobster should investigate why it's no longer a friendly place ???

Awww, Adrian just wants to be friends (if you can overlook his inadvertencies), and ZCD is just a social lubricant (to ease the slip between realities) and you'll only be eaten by a grue if you forget to light your way (not a torch or a match in your inventory).

Cheers,
Marc

You can't really blame Adrian.
It's never the monkey's fault.
You gotta go after the organ grinder.
Which would be the Kabuki Kid.
I think we should give Adrian a green thong.
And see how that goes.

And we should have a Forum vigilante.
