It's been a while. There might be a few people left who remember me. I was a long time regular poster, but life conspired to take away time and eventually I quit posting. I was a moderator and the original "Bartender" here at one point.

Anyway, I'm back. My life kind of took a few bad turns this last year and now I have time to engage in all sorts of political douchebaggery. With election season coming up it seems like the perfect time to make a comeback. I hope some of the friends I made are still here, but if not I guess I'll have to make some new ones. Regardless...cheers :beer:. Good to be back.
 
Welcome back!

Since you say that you were the original "bartender" here, you might be the perfect person to answer my question. How does this website have a "bartender?" I don't get it.

There is a Tavern forum. I'm not sure if it is open until you reach a certain number of posts. I forgets.

The Tavern is a section of the site that I helped develop with the intention of it being the opposite of The Basement. Whereas The Basement was utilized to really get some digs in at people, the Tavern's purpose was for us to put aside differences and celebrate each other despite our political differences.

That sounds really nice, good job! That Basement doesn't sound so nice. Kinda creepy.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

Not to be too critical in your first post in returning, but "political douchebaggery" is an oxymoron.

I think they go together great. Like "Taco bell diarrhea". If you get one, you eventually wind up with the other.

Good to have you back, but I came along here after you, I think. In your absence I've become King. Well, at least I've been crowned a lot. It's almost the same thing. Sort of. I have a lot of knots on my head. That's it. King of knots.
 


Where's your crown? :2razz:
