That's some top notch dickin though.

I would've guessed it came from Dick Tracy as well - but I suppose that's a chicken and egg situation. Speaking of, what would you call it if Dick Tracy was assigned to investigate the Watergate break-in?

It's not my go-to tactic for information gathering, but sometimes desperation wins out.

How do you get Dick from Richard?

Alright, you definitely got a chuckle out of me with that one.

Speaking of missing posters, did Ayn Marx just decide he was too smart for us uncultured plebs and leave?

Maybe he's busy trying his version of Conservative Communism

Maybe he joined the wrong Quebec separatist Facebook group and got clapped by the Mounties.

...ayn another thing: didn't he live in Australia?

Haven't seen much of ribbons lately: I hope she's ok and not too stressed out about that public speech she has to give.

And rostasi's absence has been even longer

At the beginning of the MB Album Club thread, rostasi was regularly contributing with background info on musicians etc, although he never went so far as to rate an album himself. It was almost as if he rejected the value of reducing 45 mins of music creativity to a number from one to ten. Well, as we album-clubbers all know, that is what listening to music is all about: you listen, you give it a number. Duh.

The last thing rostasi posted was almost two months ago in the shout box on the front page. Something to the effect of; "Wow, 10 years...that's long enough". I remember because I congratulated him on 10 years at MusicBanter.

Yeah, I noticed Ribbons has been missing too. I hope she's okay.
