We have a big, big, problem on this board....

Problem: Marin L. Shoemaker has chosen to seclude himself away and not post until we get final results for Q1. I beg, you all to write to your senators to demand results come in so we can all have our beloved Martin back.

The petition to have everyone's names changed to Martin is in the back. Please make sure to sign your real name first.

I want to be called Thursday.

He's reading.

He's reading.

Oh my God! How do you know? You must tell me this sorcery!

Quick! Throw the pigs off the building, Tina!

If I reveal, he'll be onto me. Can't have that.

*Are the pigs flying yet?*

Quick! Throw the pigs off the building, Tina!

No barn animal sacrifices! We'll smoke him out...er, in.

I'm so confused.

I hope the following illustration is sufficiently terror-inducing as to the seriousness of this situation.

(REE! REE! REE! REE! REE!)

I love that, Stewart!

Um, Stewart? *whispers and throws something small and hopefully not too loud* He's...still...there...

Oh dear. Do you all suppose he logged in a year ago and just never ever logged out?

No. I don't believe that he thought he needed to cover his tracks back then.

After a accidental Facebook experiment I found our subject responds to ego feeding and guilt. hmmm....

(REE! REE! REE! REE! REE!)

Bwhahahahahhahahahaha Oh Oh it hurts. I'm tearing up. We missed you too, crazy donkey man.

It seems that Martin has his own gravitational pull. We now have him completely convincing Steve (Klaatu) to not post either. It seems that Steve is close to a round number as well. Also I'm perilously close to 1,000 posts. The fate of the board is in jeopardy.

ETA:

Update: Steve fumbled on the play and accidentally posted in the Q1 tread. We are all safe.

For now.

I *think* Steve posted as a joke. But I'm not entirely sure. It's Thursday, after all.

Well, technically, we heard (about) results yesterday... Shouldn't that count?

I can't imagine a week without Martin.

Then again, some of us did follow him to Facebook, so life ain't all bad.

D

Great icons.

Not sure how I missed this thread.

What's that Gator? You miss evil Martin?

As a fellow Martin, I feel obligated to maintain a Martin presence on these boards in Martin L. Shoemaker's absence. My posts will not be as witty as his, but hopefully they will lessen everyone's unease during this turbulent period (may it be short lived).

That's a hilarious image.

Martin et mort, vive le Martin!

Shall we break out the official anthem of the boards, "God Save the Martin?"

That seems a little extreme. I mean ... It's not even endangered!

Martin's response (on Facebook) was an image from Shoe.

I saw that and about spit out my water on the day he posted.

You all DO know the full name of the character from Shoe, don't you? There's a reason I always liked that character...
