Oh, I thought for a moment there they used their ears.It's the culinary robo-attachments. Such as spatulas, knives, baking trays, and portable ovens
*for those sensitive to such things, a presence, not felt in a very long time washes through the Anitnac before a bent and broken form slowly slides through the looking glass*
Over a year this time. *shakes his head* Actually, one year, one month and 12 days to be precise. So much has changed. I'm just glad it's still here, this sanctuary, this haven that I found so long ago. How I have missed it and all of you; the comforting presence of sillinesses and seriousnesses, emotions of all sorts, and the forever love that can be found within the walls of this wretched hive of weirdos and writers.
*shambles over and flops down on the couch*
I just wish I had stories to tell, but somewhere along the way I have lost the greatest possession of everyone in this room, my imagination. I'm hoping I left it here somewhere and that you will be willing to help me find it. If not...
Gasp!I made my first ever snowman yesterday! I'm ONLY almost 30...
GASP!!! *faints**realizes he's never made a snowman*
Go find some snow and build a snowman before I have to start singing at you!
Oh goody.Hello, Cantina. According to the textbook I am doing a great job not reading, our cells are covered in hot dogs.
Here I am expecting another week of poop falling on my head

Hello, Cantina. According to the textbook I am doing a great job not reading, our cells are covered in hot dogs.
Disney songs are full of danger.Just be careful with that song! Ya know full well how it ends! At least make sure there are no relatives going on long trips anytime soon...
Edit: Oh, right, hi new and returning people! Don't mind me, there is too much blood in my tea-stream and life is such that the tea would get spiked if I weren't too broke for booze.
I wonder what those would be in that metaphor... Probably nothing good.Oh goody.
I'm going to add chili and cheese.
That is one cool critter. Doesn't he have a giant banjo?Edgar the liopleurodon wants to be included. He's in the lake. He likes hot dogs.
It does, doesn't it?Cannibalism makes so much more sense now.
Hi. I'm new around here.
Snow is still on the ground, there's a massive icicle forming on the front porch, and a massive pile of snow has been pushed in front of the driveway by VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation). Thank you, VDOT. How would we get out of the driveway without you? Oh, wait...
I don't even know what I'll do when I reach the point of needing beta readers. My mom will be the first reader, but after that? I'll probably end up asking around the Cantina first, since I'm at least familiar with you guys, know you have the writing skillz, and genuinely want to be helpful.
Watching a BBC documentary on the South Pacific. Benedict Cumberbatch is a pretty good narrator.
The news is all kerfluffled about the earthquake in Alaska, so it's good to know you're okay. Has the rest of the AK writing crew checked in yet?
*realizes he's never made a snowman*
Stanley Ford!
*Hugs very tight* Quick! Lock the door, don't let him out again!
Here, have some and a Smibble.
Here I am expecting another week of poop falling on my head, and suddenly it's sparkling twinkly bright instead. Yeay!
Please fill me in. While I have more time on my hands lately, I don't at the same time. Cleaning a house that hasn't had a good spring cleaning in 8 years is daunting and tiring.Stanley! Welcome back! A lot has happened in your absence.
You may need to drain this infectious practicality and and treat these chronically depressive fits.You have lost your imagination?! That's awful! We need to get some into you, STAT!
Welcome back, Stanley!
I take a little consolation that we're not digging out from heavy snow like the folks back east, but winter in central AZ has its own dubious charms. Most of them are driving around with license plates from other places...
STANLEY!
Make yourself back at home. Soon as you've warmed up a bit by the fire, got some coffee in you, I'm sure that imagination will start creeping back.
STANLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! *tacklehug*
I'm not even sure we've met, but I make it a point to tacklehug everyone who comes back to the Cantina after an absence.

Just before the snow storm was supposed to hit, I saw a bunch of license plates from warmer states around the various grocery stores. Couldn't help but wonder why. Did they WANT to get buried in snow for the weekend?
Stanley! Welcome back!
Today is my last day of freedom. School starts tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. Three months of idleness has gotten to me a bit.
*flying tackle from Elizabeth's tree-pool* STANLEY! Welcome back!
Update: headache has still not gone away. It wouldn't be so bad except the sun is coming out and glaring through the window here at the office and I'm dealing with some really weird technical issues.
And I also see a Stanley! WB, Stanley. We will be sure to imbue and bestow upon you your imagination. I'm fairly certain it's probably just on walkabout. It'll be back.
Hi, Stanley!
Is this like an El Nino thing?
Welcome back, Stanley! Missed you around these parts. Hope you plan to stay.
Hey, Hillz. Glad to hear from you. The news is all kerfluffled about the earthquake in Alaska, so it's good to know you're okay. Has the rest of the AK writing crew checked in yet?
Oh yikes, I hadn't heard about this. Hope everyone is safe up there.
Oh, wow, I didn't even notice how he failed! But that was the documentary I was talking about.
... Sooooo much! Including that tree pool and a lot of new faces and the sentient discoball doing battle with Elizabeth.Please fill me in. While I have more time on my hands lately, I don't at the same time. Cleaning a house that hasn't had a good spring cleaning in 8 years is daunting and tiring.

He sounded like he was saying either "pengwing" or "pegleg".
Central Virginia. A little north of Richmond.What part of VA?
Or is it a pool in a tree?GAAH! Hi, TA. When did we get a tree in the pool? :hug:
Yeah, kind of. There's a Tolkien fan message board I like a lot that I posted on almost daily before graduating college, but since then, I focus so hard on my writing and RL sometimes that I don't even visit it for a week or two. Then I realize that I miss geeking with my fellow geeks and make a point to check in.And now a question for all in attendance. Have you ever not done something and not realized you missed it until suddenly a quark sized part of your brain wakes up and says, "Hey, Stupid. Go do that thing you used to like doing with those people you love and love you!" Just wondering.
