Well, I'm closing in on the magic 50,000 post threshold, and as promised, it's time for me to say goodbye for a while... with a smile.
*clears throat*
Thirteen years and thirty days ago, I washed up upon the shores of General Board beach.
My first week here was extraordinarily memorable, there was a discussion on the proper way for a dog to fuck a woman, a sudden "Lit death" (which turned out to be the first of many such hoaxes), and some guy named Ishmael questioned my patriotism for disagreeing with President Bush.
I knew I'd found someplace special.
I've been here on and off, mostly on, since then. You folks have helped me through some less-than-fun times, you kept me company late at night when I had insomnia and jet lag (and trust me, there was a lot of both).
With the "frogging" of Vetteman and 4est_4est_Gump's probation revoked until August, I've lost both of my major dueling buddies in the political threads. The General Board RWCJ (Right Wing Circle Jerk) is broken, the hyena pack is no more. I look around for moar windmills to tilt at, and all I can see are a couple of aging unrepentent racist bigots and a trio of second-tier negligent fathers. Virtually everyone else from Wingnut Nation is dead, banned or gone.
You guys are a wonderfully dysfunctional eclectic bunch. I've enjoyed interacting with the vast majority of you.
Some have asked me why I am leaving now...after all didn't I promise the board a sex tape of myself with Fata Morgana? Well, yes I did, but times change, people change and circumstances change. Plus, Fata insists on a £20,000 upfront "modeling fee" now and her "girlfriend experience" add-on package is prohibitively expensive.
So much has changed in our collective lives here over the years...
2015 has been a banner year for me: physically, emotionally, financially and mentally. Plus, I have something now that my buddy Zipman will never EVAR have: a long-term romantic relationship with, and the love of, a gorgeous Jewish girl.
But I digress....
I'm going to take the rest of the year off, I'll return in December to close out the 7th annual Deadpool and reassess life again then. I may start posting again, I may not. In all honesty, I may peek in here from time to time (I suspect it'll be quite amusing in a month or so when Queerbait takes full credit for "running me off the board"). But today is my last day posting.
There are a large number of folks that I'd really like to thank for being my friend here over the years...I can't make a list because I know I'd leave someone out. I can't, however, leave without saying thanks publicly to Laurel, who has been the bestest moderator I've ever seen (and trust me, as a vBulletin admin myself for 7 years, I know how hard her job is!).
See you in December. God bless you all. Except Miles.

- Dolf's hair is pink. No word on if the carpet matches the drapes though.
- Wings is getting married. There is hope for us all.
- Lorilei finally figured out how to make a smokin' hot headshot avatar without her hair hangin' in her face.
- There is a politics board now
- Eyer finally figured out that there is no letter "v" in "cunt".
