I'm here now. Use this to tell everyone you are here!

[Sibling Chatty]

To quote the final lyrics from "Candide":

We're neither pure, nor wise, nor good
We'll do the best we know.
We'll build our house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow.
And make our garden grow.

My favorite 'musical'.

[Opsa]

Mine too!

Arena Stage in Washington D.C. puts it on every few years. I've been to a couple of those productions and they were both wonderful. Those final lines always choke me up.

Hello again.

I was a Brother at the start of the HOT, but have lost my way for a while. I humbly beseech re-entry.

[Aggie]

YAY!!!   Welcome home, Sibling!

Hi Pachy!

[Opsa]

Welcome back, Pachyderm!

I was wondering where you went. It's great to see you.

[Griffin NoName]

Hi there Pachyderm.

How sad you lost your way. There has been much discussion on the many passageways of the The Monastery. Are you sure you weren't just in some remote room that we all forgot about? I've never found the Snooker room though I am told there is one.

[Pachyderm]

Snooker room?

Oh, the horror. They stole my Dad's tusks to make snooker balls....

I'll just avoid that one then.

What is this I was reading about "legal issues" and Duke not making friends? He gets a bit funny on the topic of Ninjas, as I recall, but I did find him entertaining.

Have I missed some great schism?

Is the world of Pastafarianism rocking with dissent?

How can anyone not like Sibling Chatty?

Answers on a postcard please?

PS Forgotten what my Toadfish name was. When I say lost my way, needed Henry the Navigator to get back to it. 
Is there any way to find it out? Or how do I apply for a new one?

[Opsa]

No biggies here for quite some time. We like to keep things peaceful.

I'll send you a postcard.

[DaveL]

Welcome back Pachy,

Glad you found your way over here. Was it the pirate raiding party that did it?

All religious movements have some sort of schism, but the pirates are pretty much the same on either board. Well...erm we've probably gotten worse...but never mind 

Glad to see you again!!

[Pachyderm]

Was reading a thread over in Omnia, mentioned the Monastery.

This fired some long unused neurone deep in the recesses.

And here I am, a raidin' pillagin' an such. In a humble way, naturally.

"Oi say, old man, would yer mind teribbly if'n Oi pinch yer loife savins, and take yer woife an daughters off ter a loife o' unspeakable drudgery workin in the Fish 'Ead Stoo factery. Won't affect you, squire, on account of me stickin' this 'ere cutlass in yer gizzards an' wrigglin' it around. Ta very much, yer a proper gent."

Lifts hat.

[Opsa]

Not at all, not at all, be my guest, as long as you put it so politely-loik.

Please check your private messages for post cards.

Welcome home, Pachy.
