Who here is in a frothy frenzy that RYK has decided to participate on these boards again?

Personally, I am thrilled that he is BACK. Longacre will end his self imposed exile (much to several board members' chagrin, but I can't please everyone image).

What say you re RYK?

    Maybe he needed some time out from the RYK fan club.

    I hear that the effects of fame can be really hard on a person.

    For now the Twain are paired once again; Ryk & Longacre. And the Universe is restored. Long live Longacre & Ryk. May their largesse and posts illuminate us ever hence.

    For alas who is Quasimodo without Esmeralda? And just how good is Notre Dame without a stout hunchback behind the quarterback?

    Did you ever see Dr. Frankenstein wintout Igor? Or Mr. Hyde together with Dr. Jeckyl?

    And did you ever see MJ in the same room as Latoya! Alas these are the mysteries of modern times. Let us rejoice in the presence of Ryk and Longacre and Quasimodo!

    Abouts are not allowed. There once was a military spec that called for testing aircraft windshields with the impact of a 5 pound chicken. Testing came to a complete halt because nobody had an exactly 5 pound chicken. The spec was finally amended to include tolerances.

    Between RYK's return and Sunnywood's brilliant discussion of the 1867 w/rays 5c, things are definitely looking up around here. Is it too much to hope for RWB's reappearance as well?

    Ever since I "retired" from the tour (see sig line)... and stopped indulging in the acceptable additives consumed there... I no longer froth nor do I get into much of a frenzy over anything...

    None-the-less...regarding RYK's renewed postings...am I glad to see this?

    He is a addict. It is like smoking. You quit. Then you say, "well, one won't hurt." Then, the next thing you know, back up to a pack a day. O.k. so that wasn't the best analogy. Let's just call it a healthy addiction image

    Is that the one where they fired the checken at the jet aircraft window and the window kept failing, until somebody told them to thaw out the chicken first???
