GingerApple 7,302 Posted October 29, 2018 Are we all just going to sit here all night, waiting until he wakes up? He made it very clear that he was going to bed. What if he never wakes up? What if some terrible plague befalls him in the night and he, you know, passes to the other side. As tragic as that would be, I think we need to consider how long we should wait around. Thinking about it, he might already be dead. RIP Awsome. You were.... terrific. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you could arrange a quiz or something to keep us entertained? At least you're not dead. I think I got a bit ahead of myself there. Wait, was Glaude right? Have you turned ginger?
