Reasons Casu-hime and Hobu-oni to disappear almost together and without any signs/warnings.

1. They have been taken by aliens for research on quoting quotes.

LOL!
2. Having quoted so much they have evolved to a further stage of evolution whereby the use of mechanical means of communication is unecessary and now they communicate only by telepathy, us mere mortals cannot hear them

They may be on holiday together.

We will read about them soon as a case report on "quoting-fingers" a horrible, new disease caused by heavy typewriting.....

Most recently, they were sharing nature/biology photographs. May be both of them are out to collect more than the other - a long, quiet mission.

Perhaps!! And they are waiting to assail each other vast numbers of pictures? and us at the same time

Ok, they are not here still. . .

do U think global economic crisis has anything to do with this disappearance?

You mean they've been sold off???!!

Maybe there is a need for professional "quotation artists" at the moment

quotation artist or quotation scientists?

Hey guys...aawww.....a thread just for us...I'm deeply touched. And to borrow Mark Twain's famous quote ("The reports of my death are greatly exagggerated"), I'd also like to announce that the reports of our banning, quote-searching, alien-kidnapping, swine-fluing, vacationing, being sold off, exotic disease-contracting are just only products of your warped imaginations.

And nope, we weren't in jail either (they have to catch us first). So did you guys miss the neurotic duo....yeah, it seems pretty quiet around here lately but we're back... so brace yourselves....but we promise to behave ourselves- before the panda truly bans us ....but first, perhaps dr H can provide us with all the sordid details of our "disappearance"....you can't plead temporary insanity nor anterograde amnesia this time, dr H...


minna-san, o-hisashiburi deshoo nee...

casey

And me as the spin-off or sideshow-hob here I feel of course deeply touched too.
And the details: for casandra I guess it's too embarrassing, the too long holidays and beach bumming together in Darwin Island, spending the night waking, the vomiting on hotel carpets, the too high restaurant and hotel bills. The nights in drunk tanks. Better forget all this and celebrate the revival. Or is it a comeback?
At least I missed the good old: .
But finally we're just back...

Welcome back.

I was just about to propose another theory - 'The duo might be the MJ in disguise'. . U beat me.

Seems like U were brushing up ur language skills.

Otukarey!

Is it another conspiracy theory or just me : they disappear together, come back together - what do other guys think of that?

the other guys don't need to think and you too, BB...aren't you just glad we're back? Gosh....for all the entertainment we guys give you, we deserve a bit of break plus the forum deserves it too... ...

you didn't need to mention the puking...that's too much information ...besides, I'm not the only one who puked...btw, whatever happened to the quote thread?

And we didn't start a family. THEN it would have been only ME that disappeared
We're so harmless mostly and of course everything was G-rated.

We were all going through a tough, stressful withdrawl effect of the sudden break in the entertainment we were addicted to. Imagine the impact it might have had on our innocent brains. U 2 cannot be forgiven without answering questions from us

>> Just tell us, U 2 were not taken to any planet outside the solar system or this galaxy. Outside that, we should start preparing for a revenge.

Revenge ...but why? You shld actually be rewarding or rather bribing us for coming back....where else can you get free G-rated entertainment? And when are we gonna get "our" entertainment? Nobody even wants to post one beautiful image in my thread <I'm gonna start pouting now>.....

Perhaps we were taken by hideous and hairy aliens -Vogon-like- . Finally we could escape (or I escaped and freed casandra ). But it was soo bloody and cruel and weird, we needed a nice and relaxing holiday in Hawaii afterwards and not the quote thread labour. Think of that.

well excusez moi.....I never play the damsel in distress routine ...besides, how could you rescue me- you were always so tanked...so we skipped the alien abduction and went straight to Hawaii and of course freed from the quote slave labour.... ...

well excusez moi. Perhaps you played wonder woman and saved me from signing a working contract with a coal (or uranium?) mine in north north Canada (where they only speak french) ...

well, excusez moi again...but north north north Canada is only for the tough and the brave...and it's too cold up there that you could hardly speak without your tongue getting frozen..., you will never be offered a contract there in the first place ...we better stick to our Hawaii "story"...

Hawaii.... I see. SO thats why North Korea said it had missiles that could reach there.... It all becomes clear now
Welcome back you guys! We've missed you.

Lost

Did they say that . .. how stupid of them to just propose a project and not run a test.

we could well have seen some earth-saving (read : Hawaii-saving) action live in local sports channel.

But we're invincible!!!! .......

Thanks, Lost...glad to be back too SO.....crazy days are here again......

whatever you're doing- gambatte kudasai....and that cold soba dish should be soo good to eat right now..

Which outfit are you wearing- the Greek goddess sword weilding hero or the caped one?

Thanks- Gambarre masu! I will try hard at sitting at my desk procrastinating.
The cold soba dish is very nice to eat just now, though its cooled down after last weeks heatwave...

U mean this ?




U r not related to 'Monkey Majik' in anyways, are you?

Sorry for that....I have lots of pictures but I have to reduce size...otherwise the big panda will get carnivourus

i thought you two had booked a hotel room and were "getting to know each other"

thank god for "do not disturb" signs eh?

hey dom...I suspected it was you who came back...what with the wry and often mean one-liner replies but I wasn't sure cos the wizard's missing (plus the DOM)- the new one looks weirder than ever...

and oh yeah, thank heavens for the "come back in three weeks" sign....<sigh>

nice that you're finally here so a welcome back to you too..

hey gebZ...I think I'd already have my first-born (or run my first perfect gel) before you ever post any pics... ....so take your time...regards...

this is what we say here (literal translation): children come when you are hurrying
