I have a shameful confession to make...

[Bouncing Boy]

This is hard to say because I know some people are going to be really upset at this news, but Rally and I have broken up. It's all because Tages and I have fallen in love. I didn't mean for this to happen but it did, the last thing I wanted was to hurt Rally.

It all started when Rally and I started having dinner with Tages. The subtle looks across the table. I saw the mutual attraction immediately, but I denied it to myself. I was with Rally, and my love for Tages had to be denied.

Then I lost my job at Wal*Mart and Tages helped me get a job at Wells Fargo, where he worked. The long talks we would have durring our breaks, and the faithfull day just a few weeks ago when I was at the Photocopier and he came up behind me.

Last thursday I confessed to Rally, we had a huge fight and she kicked me out. I went straight to Tages' arms and we decided to drive to Vegas for the weekend. Long story short we got married by an Elvis impersonator. It wasn't legal obviously, for one thing I'm still legally married to Rally, but it's the commitment that counts.

The best part of the whole story is that we were able to adopt a baby girl, and we named her April Phul.

[Ed Cunard]

I don't blame you. Tages is hot man meat.

[Charles RB]

You didn't go with the Elvis impersonator? For shame.

[Nick Soapdish]

So Rally's available?

[Paradox]

Well NOW I regret deciding not to go there, Nick! :)

Ah, well, I already went there last week...your turn. :)

[Typo Lad]

Wait...

...does this mean Rally is available?

Too late, bub.

As we speak, she's flying first class to Mexico.

Wait, does this mean Tages is taken? There go my SDCC plans.


On the other hand, I'm confident enough in my seduction abilities.

Dammit, I've been trying to type into words your great story within a story about the psychologist and meeting Chuck G. but I can't do it justice.

I wish you'd put it into words.

[Paradox]

Yes, please Mr. fly. I was there, but apparently there's some punchline I don't know.

Or maybe it's just the great way you spin a yarn.

[Spike-X]

Tell us a story, Uncy Fly!

[fly on the wall]

Dammit, I've been trying to type into words your great story within a story about the psychologist and meeting Chuck G. but I can't do it justice.

I wish you'd put it into words.

Oh yeah. You know I've written up twice back when I was in my prime. Once for this place, once for a bipolar room that I was boss psycho in until it was shut down.

I remember what I did to the psychiatrist pretty well but all I remember of the Chuck G thing was me telling the funny story and him saying that it was immoral to ignite and then scald my shrink, using only mental energy.

Then I got so mad at Chuck G that I wanted to punch him, I was actually ready to crawl across the table and assault him. I've only felt that way like twice in my life, it's a creepy out-of-control feeling.

I didn't even know he was Chuck G then.

This guy really knows how to get on your nerves.

I should have tricked him into setting himself on fire. That would have showed him.

[fly on the wall]

Tell us a story, Uncy Fly!

Oh don't worry soon I will spin a few yarns. I got this gigantic laptop from my mother and as soon as I figure out how to hook it up to the internet I'll raise all kind of hell around here. Especially me and JeffreyWKramer.

The laptop has Vista and it has really poor legibility of type. Teeny Weeny type with little contrast between character and background. What were they thinking?

Well, if you're not going to tell it (or dredge up off your hard-drive) do you mind if I tell it? It'll lack the fly panache, sad to say.

No, that probably would've been him showing you. Somehow.

No, Dox. You were by my side when it all happened. But I don't think you knew the guy was Chuck G either.

Chuck G. is the kind of guy that you can bitterly hate before you even know him.

Well, we did tell you who he was, but it wouldn't have registered. He wasn't CHUCK G! GOD OF THE INTERNET BECAUSE I SAY SO back then. Just some annoying putz we'd had trouble with at Alvaro's (who had NOT been invited to the dinner, but we'd posted it publicly so...).

This guy really knows how to get on your nerves.

Aye and aye again. And you were a saint for throwing yourself on that grenade so the rest of us could enjoy ourselves.

I should have tricked him into setting himself on fire. That would have showed him.

Well, there WAS talk of throwing him in the river outside the restaurant, but I like the way you think. :)

[fly on the wall]

Okay, you can tell it but don't leave out the giant coffee thermos scalding him after he jumped up screaming like a girl from his shirt being ablaze. The coffee thermos was supposed to keep him awake during the sessions but it didn't work.

And don't forget to tell them that I got that session free of charge since he knew I knew he was sleeping during the session.

And don't forget to use the phrase, "taking him down into deeper planes of anesthesia" (by telling him super boring stuff like cleaning clumps of grass out of the lawnmower".)

Okay, that's all.

But leaving Chuck out of it for a minute, I've got to join the choir here and say that I have really missed having you around.

It's just not quite right around here without you.

I'm shocked that you would say such things about my precious flower. Of course even a tulip is a weed if it comes up in a rose garden.

I'm dedicating my story Dread wants me to write to that fragile windchime, my very lovely wife who's very sick with a mysterious illness. And she might die but then on the other hand she might not.

okay now I have to write that story. What will I call it? "Burn, baby, burn"?

"The case of the Smouldering Shrink"

The stench of chest hair hung in the air...

For day in day out, year in year out excellence, fly is the top. Not just the Louvre or the Colisseum, but the yet to be built Space Elevator.

His writing is nuanced and ripe. Taste. You find both richness and subtlety: paradoxically united, unexpectedly sublime. Well, not just unexpected, but unhoped for.

I still wish he'd write a novel. Or a massive short story collection.

Oh, not saying he couldn't dissapoint or annoy, but even Shakespeare couldn't make the play every time. Maybe if fly would give some of his kitties to Oberon and Titania they'd inhabit him long enough to force out his "Tempest" or "Midsummer Night's Sex Post". The ne plus ultra, Platonic essence of fly.

You know it's in there and you want. You want him to give.

The internet is like sand. Build a castle, pathetic or magnificent and it crumbles, washes away. Where are those posts now but in our memories? Like a conceptual work of art, like a temporary gallery installation. This forum is haunted by the blazing spectre of an insect, ignis fatuus, the spirit of a (fire)fly.

Fly also lifts the level of discourse. He gives others a standard to live up to, or at least aspire to. And do they, yes. Sand again, like a sand mandala. Someone designs it, chooses the colors. Many hands execute it. Over time, many witness its creation. Many gather to see it in its completion, its perfection. And then, because all things must pass, and because this must be demonstrated again and again until we understand it, the hands that created the mandala are the hands that destroy it.

If this forum had nothing else but the possibility of a manifestation of the buddha-fly, it would be worth attending to for that alone.

Just wanted to give an explaination about the inspiration for this prank. I really do work at the same place as Tages, and he did get me the job. One day,in January, on one of the common computers in the break room, I accidentally left myself logged on to CBR. Durring Tages' break he went to CBR and saw I was still logged on so he posted this (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?t=205702)! He also sent a PM to Rally saying "Your husband needs to learn not to leave himself logged into CBR at work" or words to that effect. I found out about the PM, but didn't find out about the post until last week when Tages had break at the same time I did, and he told me about it.

So I concocted my revenge, and fine tuned it with the help of Ragnarok, Spike and Jade. It was decided that it should be really over the top or else people might belive me and get mad. It was jade that came up with the wedding in Vegas performed by an Elvis impersonator, and the idea of Tages coming up behind me at the copy machine.

I almost didn't post it because I saw Typo's post and saw the chaos it caused, but I figured if I added the adopting the daughter and naming her April Phul that would let everyone know it was a joke if they didn't get it already.

Nope, this was the Dixonverse dinner at Giordano's on Saturday night. IIRC, you'd already headed home.

Although it possibly even could have been the next year. It WAS ten years ago and my mind isn't exactly a steel trap. :p

No, it was that year. I remember because I was there too. I think I was at another table though or something, and I was totally oblivious to the fact that the guy was Chuck G.
