Well, I've managed to survive three and a half years of the random nonsense, hostility, humor, fraternity, and outright faggotry that is Arfcom.  I've even somehow managed to not put my foot in my mouth too often –– which was probably aided by the 10,000 posts that I wrote and then deleted  At any rate, it's certainly been an experience, to say the least.  

I've learned to enjoy some of the finer things in life:







Found people to visit with while I'm stuck at work late at night:



And even learned a new sport –– along with the attendant side activities:



Now, a exhaustively incomplete list of a couple shoutouts, Academy Awards-style brief:

Pita_146 -  You were the first Arfcommer I actually met, and even helped me dredge up an avatar at one point before I settled on Aimless' younger brother over there.  You (and your lovely wife) are damned good people!

fiver -  Despite the fact that I think you may still be trying to get us both banned wholesale due to that... one thread... just wanted to say thanks for the booze, and I love you.  In a carnal fashion

SouthEndXGF -  Thanks for an awesome weekend in Dallas, from the crockpot ribs and NHL 11 tournament to the Photoshopped apartment floor plan.  

phurba  -  Had a great time at the 3-gun with you last year, looking forward to some more good times

Kitties and uxb  -  In exchange for that dose of Southern hospitality, I owe you both some good old fashioned Northern... uh... whatever it is.

All the Night Crew folks - My home away from work away from home.  You guys have managed to keep me (reasonably) sane, or at least prevented my brains from dribbling out, and I'm duly appreciative.  I'm sure someday we can all be a family again

24/365 Folks -

82ND-ABN  -  I'm still waiting for my New Year's Eve drunk dial from this year

RustedAce -  I laugh my ass off at just about every thread you post, so shout out to you.  Oh, and for further inspiring me to become an inkie in the future

And to everybody else on here that I've talked with, argued with, or just otherwise been around:  Thanks.  Regardless of disagreements, arguments, insults, Pit threads, and what have you, you're all part of what makes Arfcom what it is.  I've met some fantastic people here, and I am genuinely grateful for the time I've been able to spend with you all.



Alright, now enough of that homo sentimental shit!  Get back to GD!  

Oh, and no homo.  

Congrats, Puck!

Who are you again?

It's a safe bet that I'm on several.

The dont be sad, be GLAD





 

But I wanted to be on a good one!!! (throws toddler/libtard style tantrum)

I figured it wasn't very ninja-like to have you on a public list

For the counting of posts, a whore you be....

Admitted.  Terrible, terrible whore.

Congrats puckface!

What the hell is this?   I demand a refund!

Alright, alright, I'll give you back what you paid.

You are kind of a sucker
