Can you catch me up on the last week in the Flutherverse?

Asked by augustlan (47745points) October 14th, 2013

I’ve been away from the site for a week due to a death in the family. Did I miss anything important? Inquiring managers want to know.

PS: If you’ve sent me a PM recently, and I haven’t replied, you might want to resend it. I got a lot of them while I was gone, and don’t want anything to fall through the cracks.

We discussed babies, and DutchessIII has a new addition to her family, classical music, Janbb’s new addition Frodo, LuckyGuy’s nuts, and it was kind of quiet. Sorry for your loss Auggie. I hope everyone is doing okay. Welcome back.

And don’t forget about @luckyguy’s nuts.
Oh wait, they were mentioned. I just wanted to say it again.

augustlan's avatar

I want a link to the nuts, people! I could use a dose of fun, here.

We lost my father-in-law last Monday. It was a rough week, but we’re doing okay now.

chyna's avatar

@luckyguy’s nuts
tee hee, I said it again.

@augustlan I’m so sorry. Losing anyone hurts. I wish there was something better than sorry for your loss.

I didn’t do anything moderator-able. Yay me.

ETpro's avatar

@augustlan So sorry for the loss you and your family are feeling. The good news is, in your absence, nothing of any consequence at all happened.

rojo's avatar

Lots of crap on the government and shutdown but no one changed anyones preconceived notions.
@Seek wants to know what is involved in a facial and whether it is any different from what she can get at home.
@ Dutchess thinks her avatar and ass are too big,
@flip thinks you guys are being mean and picking on him.
@JLeslie wants to know about men and their hobbies.
@pooh’s house makes her sick
@Mazinger want to know how prehumans did the nasty.
@talljasperman want to know when we will have 3d porn, everyone else thinks its pretty gross.
@livelaugh is having doubts
@Aster is worried about her looks and her meth habit.
@Hawaii Jake has his tongue somewhere it shouldn’t be.
Oh, and there was a discussion as to whether or not John Denver was a country singer.
And, finally, it seems that pumpkins are the in avatar now for some reason.

Hope this helps, and in the words of that old joke:

Breaktimes over. Everybody back on their heads!

glacial's avatar

Oh my, @rojo.

Wait, what’s this about John Denver?

augustlan's avatar

You guys are the best!

John Denver is more of a folk singer, to me.

Sorry for your loss {{{Auggie}}}.

augustlan's avatar

Thank you, sweetie.

Adding to all these, @Hawaii_Jake asked for a question ,
we discussed Mexicans (and make-up), and I got modded. Hangs head.

I’m sorry for your loss, @augustlan.

ucme's avatar

Same as it ever was, lots of talking heads.
Still waiting for that once in a lifetime question…

Pachy's avatar

I’m sorry for your loss, dear Auggie.

picante's avatar

@augustlan I’m sorry for your loss and happy to see you back in the saddle (with whip in hand).

Well, let’s see…here at Mod Central we randomly removed questions based on nothing more than the predominant color in the user’s avatar (blue on Monday, red on Tuesday, etc.); we updated our list of favorite users who are exempt from modding; we put the finishing touches on our atheist/liberal litmus test, specifically the section that specifies how long non-conformists will be publicly pilloried before we gratuitously ban them.

You know, same old same old.

janbb's avatar

^^^hilarious!

rojo's avatar

@janbb lucky for you this is Tuesday.

me too I guess

jca's avatar

I am excited about the nuts.

Blondesjon's avatar

I drove across the country non-stop, in a pair of adult diapers, so I could stalk an old astronaut pal of mine.

I was just getting ready to post, “Does he really like me?”, when you returned.

janbb's avatar

I was carried off to a castle in the Hebrides by a tall, dark stranger who fed me bon bons and drank champagne from my slippers.

glacial's avatar

I don’t know, @janbb – he looks like a small, fluffy stranger to me. But I could see him drinking champagne from your slippers.

Kardamom's avatar

@glacial, if he was a small fluffy stranger, he might be more inclined to drink from her toilet, rather than her slippers. And that’s OK.

janbb's avatar

@Kardamom @glacial Well, I will say he was nibbling on me when the divorce lawyer called! (She was envious.)

AmWiser's avatar

I’m still lurking about. Tehehehehe!

@augustlan Sorry for your loss.

Re: John Denver

If he wrote and sang a song titled “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” in which he extols the joys of having a “fine wife and a fiddle” and “when the sun’s comin’ up I got cakes on the griddle”, I should think the answer would be obvious :D

glacial's avatar

@Buttonstc Actually, Denver didn’t write that song, he covered it. He also covered Let it Be, Fire and Rain, and City of New Orleans, among other famous pop and folk songs. He did write Leaving on a Jet Plane, which was rather famously covered by Peter, Paul and Mary… folk again. His folk roots are deep, and singing the occasional country song shouldn’t bump him into that category.
