I've always thought a good avatar was important...

Welcome Back Prof.

*gives it the old hip-bump*

Don't forget!

*sends pizza*
Don't leave!
Ok, if you have to go, come back [T]soooooooon!

...Strikes Back!!

What: Punday Night, a pun competition
When: The last Monday of the month,31 Jan at 10pmEST/ 9pm CST/8pm MT/7pm PST
Where: In Pocket D,on the main floor, near the window closest to the floating truck
Why: Because I finally have time to do this right (again)

We'll all miss you Castle.
Come back sometime and I'll buy you a pizza

Looks like it's Chalet 3 at the bottom of the hill and about nowish. I'm up top still but I'll try to get away.

Come to the party and buy a DJ!...ok...rent a DJ...for a single show...but still!

I'll be there! One of my shows is getting auctioned off by the CAPE but it's pretty early so after they sell me I can come down the hill.

I'm still alive!!!
I think...
I smell a little off...
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful gift. It was eaten my fern

Sorry guys. If I show at all it'll be very late. I forgot I have a wedding to attend tonight.

It's my hat now! I stole it fair and square!

*sneaks in*
I remember the Good Old Days...what? Wrong thread? ok....

I think who you have as iconic depends on what you want out of your game. Who I look up to and admire you may not have heard of and vice versa.
Me, I tip the hat to CuppaJoe still.

I missed Drunk Party Games???
This school thing SUCKS!

Real Life is more important.
That said...*Big Sad Kitty Eyes* We'll just wait here. You know, out in the cold. Alone. Video-less.
*sniffles*

Also, if you're looking for active channels I do recommend the CAPE global channel. I can't predict the level of insanity at any given time, but it's pretty active and we're often doing different kinds of events. You may enjoy the station as well.
