    Exclamation Otis11, we need to talk. (Adults only, 56k warning.)

    OK Otis11, we need to have a little talk.



    I heard you have moved to another team for WCG. Something about them having the newest hardware, software and operating systems.



    Now don't get me wrong, I can see choosing the ho's...



    over your bro's.



    But I know everyone here, well almost everyone, will miss you. ( I worked hard on that sign.)



    For one your packing and moving skills are legendary!



    For another your overclocking skills and PC cooling knowledge will be sorely missed. (by someone) BTW did you ever find your cat?



    Seriously your patience, kindness, freindlyness and cute pics you post gave a warmth to the forums.



    Now look I been to Texas and I like it. It's uh real friendly.



    But they are known to make people think everything is bigger there.



    Problem is when the disappointment comes.



    Your a good guy Otis11 but I gotta tell ya you were never good at reading the signs.



    Everything is not what it may seem or what people tell ya.



    Now some people are thinking ya did it to get some attention.



    And I'm not unsympathetic to cultural and regional differences, I know things are done differently in Texas.



    But we have a special relationship, one I treasure and hope to see grow with time.



    Not that you asked but I am fine. The usual bumps and bruises of life but I'll be back on my feet soon.



    Oh yeah I heard ya been working out! You go boy! It's working!



    OTIS11! Are you even listening??

    Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.

    It has been brought to my attention that in my pursuit of levity and humor I have insulted many different groups. This has possibly hurt some feelings, making me seem insensitive and judgmental. I would suggest that I also made fun of myself but some might have overlooked that due to their own feelings of insult. The only insult intended was for Otis11 and I would be VERY disappointed if I do not, at some point in the near future, suffer terrible and humiliating retribution at his hands. Knowing Otis11 I will not be disappointed.

    There is one group in particular, a rather large group I might add, that to my surprise evidently frequent these forums, that I need to assure I do not judge and fully support your choice in cultural tradition. Please do not take any offense by my attempts at humor at your expense. I can only hope that all Texan bovine will accept my apologies for any slight that they felt.

    Thank you for reading.

    I've read PG's post like 5 times, and I didn't think I would laugh out loud again until I read Moo's reply.

    Now where's that "Thanks" button when you need it?
