Ahhh... Festival...

Haha! Bagster-worthy!

HAHAHHAHAHHA! It's like reading a 'battlefield' memoire....XD
I recall in the early days of the Q thread when we were posting around the clock, we having our 'position overrun' with trolls. I logged on to my computer around 3 or 4 am and found what I called a 'chair throwing bar fight'. It was the first time I ever saw cboldt, and he was easily dispatching the enemy with the sword of logic (hey how did he get THAT into the bar?). It seemed 'loud' in that thread/bar, so maybe there were posts in all caps, or I was imagining shouty text based on the content. I stayed briefly and started throwing chairs with some others, but Cbolt's rapier wit was making more headway as was bagster's gung fu (plus bagster was enjoying it). I was entirely unfamiliar with that environment, wasn't very good at it and wasn't having fun. I didn't stay long. I imagined the sound of the fight growing dimmer as I left the thread to check email, and silence falling as I logged off for the night in silence, wondering what would be left when I checked again later that morning. Would bagster be in time out?
But my recollection pales in comparison to the power and determination you displayed in your prose. My favorite part: "I steeled my mind...I typed!"
LOVE IT! If I had my hands on an army Pepe right now, I'd post it! THANKQ
