I considered making this a Fuego thread.

But anyway.

6 days to May 1!

There's a little irony there.

I thought of Nigal last week, watching HPM wander around the house in a shirt and underwear but no pants.

It is a bit of an anomaly that Oryx is leaving just before Nigal returns ...

He wins the prize for leaving TT the right way. He didn't even pitch a fit.

(You must admit up front that you will be back.)

this isn't the first time Nigal has left TT and come back.

Geo, no connection between Oryx and Nigal.

Oryx kind of reminds me of stratdewd

Well birch, I can tell ya one thing; once you have a cell phone you have become part of the Collective and you will never shed it.

It’s been a good month and the time to myself was great. I have a lot of stuff to tend to so my time here will still have to be limited.

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I've churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree, I really look good in black...fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired

There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Caruso
It's as primitave as can be

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise

Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise anoder
Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradise

“Now I'm going to just have to start calling Nigal by the name of Ezekiel.”

Why does this want to make me dress up like Samual L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction?

"And I shall rain down with great wrath and a fury!"

He's back and fracturing the queen's English right out of the gate.

You may wait with baited breath, but most folks wait with bated breath.

Welcome back Nigal.

Now get back off until Sunday!
