Ok... He was being a 'prolific' poster recently, and now he hasn't posted in a few days.

I usually like to see what he has to post.

(You're fast on the edit, eh?)

Well, I'd like to hang out here and wonder about JohnT some more with you guys, but it's nearly 10pm in Texas and I have a couple of la Gloria Cubanas and a Fox and Hound just down the road and I'm sure it's a target rich environment, so...

edit: hehe.. dang it!!! Why did I just think about that movie True Grit.. Where Robert Duvall is across the field and yells at John Wayne... "That's mighty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" :D

Are you kidding? He's probably driving a beat up pickup truck through the desert, with a shotgun hanging in the window, a cooler full of beer and singin' "Texas, our Texas" at the top of his lungs... because if I was him that's what I'd be doing.

You guys are all wrong; John is hiking in the Swiss mountains and enjoys his evenings in nice chalets yodeling and eating Fondue, and I promised not to tell anyone.

Hmmm... 6 days and no JohnT posts.
Maybe he's on vacation.
Maybe he gave up on linux.
Maybe he didn't pay his electric bill.
Maybe his computers exploded.
Maybe those aliens haven't put him snugly back in his bed yet?

He always does this...goes on a posting rampage and then vanishes for a couple weeks to months

I think DMR is right...John IS the alien, going back to his homeworld to say hi to the family :eek:

Sure they do. They just dump the fondue pot over their brisquet, grits, and bisquets and call it gravey.

btw, just out of curiosity how do you move up from being a grasshopper, do you have to snatch a kernel out of some asian guy's hand?

I've read through this thread 3 times and i find a few things strange.
How the thread starts!

1. "JohnT takes a break
You figure it out"

2. " (You're fast on the edit, eh?)"

The tread starter is from Texas and so is JohnT.
Both are humorous characters.

So my conclusion is that "bs_2003" is "JohnT" alter ego that is just starving for attention, so moderators just merge them into one and insist they both come to your house in person to change your decision.:D :p :eek:

Nice thought, but no... we mods do have the power to kill/maim/ban/edit /etc., but we still haven't gotten that "merge" thing worked out yet.

You don't even want to see what happened the last time we tried it- John's head ended up on hard candy's body, hard candy's head ended up on the body of some fly stuck in a spiderweb in the corner, Bon-Bon somehow became the spider, and all of this "Help Meeeeee! Help Meeeee!" going on... Bad stuff all the way around, trust me.

Welcome back John! A trip to Russia sounds like lots of fun (I'm serious, I have a couple Russian friends and it sounds like a nice place to visit, but not to stay :p)

Now get back to work! You've missed a lot of posts and have a LOT of catching up to do :p

Just in case them pesky ruskies messed with your mind (sorry, I'm a cold war survivor ;) )....

Texas refresher... (http://www.friendswood.isd.tenet.edu/ba/texas/symbols.html)

Although, if you're a true Texan I'm sure you don't need this... but it might help educate all them yankees out there.

The city's name means "controlling the East" in the Russian language.

Wikipedia entry on Vladivostok (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladivostok) Actually not a representation of the typical Russian city, with its blend of east and west. Quite modern by most european standards, but still maintaining a well preserved architectural history. Bordered by some of the most beautiful countryside and the sea.

I clicked on the Members button. Went to Advanced Search. There are 137 pages of users who have posted since Jan 01, 2004. I think there were about 30 users per page.

Of course, that doesn't answer your question directly, but is a bit of an indicator and a place you can look around.
