Right. And I'm also curious why some green mod fairy hasn't stepped in to say something to appease the masses in Alexander's apparent absence. If we don't hear something pretty soon, I'm going to start asking for volunteers to help me storm the castle and steal what is rightfullly the property of THE PEOPLE!!! AM I RIGHT?! WELL, AM I?!?!

Pardon me.

MR MISSING PERSON [AND iPAD] FOUND SAFE



BUT SANE?



Today Swiss police announced that acting on a tip from a blond bimbo they broke down a barricaded door in a low-rent area of Zurich. Inside they found what appeared to be a man clutching a baby, rocking and crooning "My preciousssssssssssss" "My precioussssssssssssssssss" He obviously hadn't eaten, shaved, or bathed for weeks!

Further investigation of the bundle revealed it to be an iPad, smuggled into Switzerland ahead of its legal import date. When police attempted to remove the iPad from the man, he flew into a rage, screaming "Sweet fuzzy squirrels on a cracker. I'm not going to give my precious away. They can't make me! It's mine! I won it! I won it! It's mine!"

Police had to taser the man to subdue him and pry the iPad out of his hands. No ID was found on him, except for a name written in green ink on the wall: "Alex"

Please come forward and claim Alex and his iPad if you can identify him, or know where he should be returned to. At present he will only mutter "Rock Lobster, Rock Lobster was a friend of mine."

Er... I mean poor Alex. We've driven him mad.

Storm the castle? *starts singing* "Through the mist, through the woods, through the darkness of the shadows it's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride.... say a prayer and we're there at the drawbridge of the castle and there's something truly terrible inside..."

Ooohh.... Big Bird! I want one! Then I could use my beak to control it, since my hands will be in the straight jacket!

Hm... me thinks I need to get off the forums for a bit and read a book, before I really do lose my mind! *lol*

Pardon me.

Hmm, you raise a valid point there.... This thread is awefully green-less!

Ha! Yes, well... I did get off the forums to read a bit... I was laying in bed reading a mystery/ghost story and was really into it when my cat started making strange noises, the likes of which I've never heard before. Then she started running around the house like she'd gone mad. I figured she had the evening crazies. Until she jumped up onto my bed with one of her toy mice in her mouth... which in itself was odd as she never plays with her mice... Then she dropped it AND IT SCURRIED ACROSS THE FOOT OF MY BED!!! I let out a blood curdling scream... (kinda surprised nobody here on the forums heard me)... and decided that was enough reading for me for tonight! Me thinks I won't be getting to sleep any time soon, so I may as well hang around the forums for a bit. It's safer on the forums... there be evil critters lurking in my house and it gives me the heeby jeebies! Oi! Actually, I need a gun... I'm goin on a mouse hunt!

I thought that was what we always did in The Llounge? Isn't Pshrynk a Pokémon (I'm pretty sure I'm a telly-watching-tubby).
