Bodger is not a fig mint. More like mango. And it takes little imagination to realize: Bodger is eternal, we are merely wisps in the wind . . .

EDIT: Okay, maybe the Bodger is abit wispy as well ...

Interesting that Bodger never posted on this thread. And until his 7 April post, we could have assumed that ddfreyne was speaking literally.

I do not think "thread" means what you think it means.

Oh, I thought Robert was directing us to all of Bodger's posts to show that he'd never posted to this thread here. Confused

Ahh, you are quite correct. The meaning of "this" did not refer to what it was pointing to, as one should expect of a link, but what it was pointing from. I get it. One would have to look through 17 pages of 248 posts total to verify that.

Only the words "never posted" should have been linked to reduce chance of confusion. This link would work better, but is still far too demanding by requiring the reader to scan even just four pages to look for an occurrence of this thread. Impatience and lack of instruction about the intended point might result in missing it anyway. "This thread" (i.e. without the link) would have been more meaningful and less work for the reader.

And where's the reference to whatever it was that ddfreyne wrote (not spoke, unless there's an MP3 somewhere I missed).

...Well. That was a scintillating correction.

Yes, this thread has bounced back from the depths of page 3 for a reason.

No, not because of the finally successful Space Shuttle launch yesterday one minute before midnight, though maybe Bodger has a secret job with NASA and that would explain why, after having done the deed yesterday, yes indeedy...

heeeee's baaaack!

Maybe this time the system admins or interms (you know who you are!) won't carry out their inexplicable vendetta against Bodger and just let one rogue soul keep us company for a while. After all, if someone isn't getting their pony, it because of the interns! Lay the blame where it's due, man. As we know all too well, it's always Cyan's fault and maybe Bodger should start kicking Cyan's butt off this forum's online list for once. Besides, where Bodger comes from, drizzle is just a kind of rain.

Yep, it that time of the cosmos again when, you guessed it, we have a sighting right here in this forum!

Sadly, the name is not sticking to the online list. I'm not sure, but I think this means we'll have two more months of Winter.

Well, it's now the middle of Winter and something brought out the Bodger to post an incredible five times in one day (so far!). I wonder why....

Oh. Right!

With 10,000 people on the online list, maybe he'll stick this time?

Definitely two more months of winter. Maybe more than that.

And no, I'm not letting go of the ponies until the time is right.

To paraphrase the Beatles: "I am the Bodger, koo koo kachoo"
