Who says it's great to have Torplexed and Drebbel back?

[Onkel Neal]

I do! I am glad they are doing well, and it is great to see them on the forum. I know Torplexed and his witty art always make my day--he's a true treasure and a great guy. He helped create much of the website graphics that we still use toady (can't improve on perfection!:shucks:). Drebbel has been around Subsim since Year 1, always a gentleman and his posts are thoughtful and clever. Subsim would not be what it is today without the Dutch Sea Lord.

We all have friends and family in real life, but I also value the great people I've met on the web over the last 15 years. Torpy, Drebbel, my life is richer from knowing you. :salute:

Now... I wonder where Letum is hiding.

[Platapus]

Hmmm

The Third Man gets booted and Torpelexed comes back. :06::06::06:

Coincidence?

:D:D:D:D:D

Aww shucks Neal! :oops:

By the way I did finally get your Christmas card last year. Alas, the Postal Service misfiled it.

I, of course called them up in a huff and demanded that all my future mail be misfiled in this manner. :D

Yee Haw! I concur! :up:

[Gargamel]

Yes, thanks to Torplexed I have my new Avatar!

And damn... I wish my mailman looked like that, then I could at least not hate him so much.

The man is a one-man cartoon army... an Army of Fun.:D

[CCIP]

Of course it's great to have them back :yep:

Where is Drebbel btw? He did pop in a couple of times, but I haven't seen him posting regularly. Here's to hoping he IS back!

[Reece]

I agree Neal... Just what we need, more spam!!;) Welcome back guys!:up:

Haven't notice Drebbel much, but Torplexed is begining to challenge Jim/Frau/Steve/Vendor (and quite possibly Feuer Frei and Gargamel?) to both quantity and quality of posts :03:

Harumph.

I don't know about Jim/Steve/Vendor, but I can draw just as good as Torplexed. In fact I knocked out this beauty before breakfast this morning:

http://www.art-reproductions.net/images/Artists/Leonardo-Da-Vinci/The-Last-Supper.jpg

I call it "The Last Subsim Meet." Haven't had time to add any captions or dialogue yet, but I think it's clear that the "story" will revolve around the fact that Neal (center, seated) just farted.



Oh and welcome back, old dudes I barely know except from what other old regulars have said about you but don't worry, I didn't believe any of it. :O: :salute:

I am <3ing you so hard right now. :haha:

BTW I'm assuming Sailor Steve is the guy holding the guitar, that would have been my choice for him as well. The guy in blue is complaining to him that Neal ate all the nachos.

The guy in green is saying "DUDE!" because of what happened after Neal ate all the nachos. :O:

It is Steve, and it is a bass guitar - four string, although I know Steve does have more sometimes.

[Sailor Steve]

Yeah but if it's a guitar it's not Steve. Steve has a bass.
Three, in fact. And a six-string and a twelve-string guitar.

You didn't recognize me because I've since shaved the beard. Also I'm holding a Paul McCartney Signature Hoffner violin bass, which I don't own but had to borrow. If you're gonna be a "poser", pose with the best.

[Rhodes]

Welcome back :salute::yeah:

[Highbury]

The bass is nice Steve, but I am more interested in the outfit. Epic duds man, you look like the Bassist that played with Lennon at the famous NYC show. (see how I gave you a second Beatles'esque pose there :O:)

I could remember what it was, to me it was just a bass guitar, but that sounds familiar. For another forum do you keep a list of guitar names to rival the wonderful ships names?
:O:

Now... I wonder where Letum is hiding.

DADT dude DADT! :DL

[nikimcbee]

I vote Yes:woot::yeah:. I still need to take torplexed out to lunch.

...or ride on the pt-boat.:03: (wink wink, nudge, nudge. makes shameless offer):D

[DarkFish]

It is Steve, and it is a bass guitar - four string, although I know Steve does have more sometimes.How can you see it's a 4 string when all the neck is 4 pixels width?:DL

Jim, Steve, Vendor, Feuer Frei, Gargamel? Maybe. But Frau Kaleun never. Not with ten thousand posts could you do this. It is folly. :D

Technically if she is wearing the ring shouldn't she be invisible?

[Herr-Berbunch]

I reckon Torplexed (I've not seen Drebbels artwork yet!) should start charging for such wonderful pieces, obviously with Neal getting a cut!

Mind you, it might be more profitable to say "either pay, or I'll caricature McBee - and post it on every thread"? :D

[Sailor Steve]

I'm sure your turn will come, Steve. :yep:
Oh, trust me, I'm well-represented in Torpy's catalogue. Funny part is, it was in direct conjunction to Drebbel.

[Onkel Neal]

Drebbel isn't an artist, he's more of a wit, like Samuel Clemens.

Torplexed is very generous with his talents, but if you do want something special, please don't be afraid to pony up $20-40 or so. First, you are showing how much you appreciate his talents. There are lots of people asking him for art and he should be compensated for his time, right? I think so. He shouldn't feel any pressure to knock out pro bono artwork. I always send him $$ when he does something for Subsim (thinking about asking him for a dozen or so new nautical avatars for the forum :hmmm:).

On top of everything, isn't it great to have him in our discussions? Oh, wait, that's what the original topic was :03:

OMG Hitman, you look so much like an actor coming straight out of the Name of the Rose ! :DL

@ Torplexed : I'm a great fan of your humour (like most people I think http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/Panzer_Kamerad/smileys/tu.gif). Much respect man ! http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75/Panzer_Kamerad/smileys/handshake.gif

[Herr-Berbunch]

Neal's just broken a GT cardinal rule, never go back to the original topic by page 6.:nope:
:O:

[Gargamel]

As Drebbel's defense attorney, I move for a mistrial because Hitman misspelled "immediate", "defense", "accused", "disobeyed", "psychological" and "decision".Steve hasn't changed at all! :D

[joea]

This is an awesome thread! :arrgh!::|\\

[Drebbel]

It is always good to be here, despite the fact the onkle is getting grey and I am getting old :DL

Maybe that is the reason we operated U-505 like a bunch of Farm Ville players a while ago

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2287968/Forums/SubSim/fhgjchfdhfgurty.jpg

I am also very glad that besides running a tight ship the Onkle now gained the skills of running the Officers Mess too ! The Onkle is indeed a Leader with many talents


Haven't notice Drebbel much, . . . . . .

I perfected the submarine concept, thats why :DL

It is good to be back and notice so many familiar faces.

Is like putting on an old sock that has been under the bed for a couple of days :D

[Herr-Berbunch]

Now I've noticed you! :salute:

[Torplexed]

Hi Drebbel! There you are.

Good to see the Dutch Sea Lord back again. :sunny:

However, don't be too surprised if Steve shows up in this thread trying to collect on some seven year old legal fees. He's gotten a little older as well, but now he has a ten-speed. :D
