At the risk of yelling Beetlejuice...Where's Quad?

[BoSoxGal]

I still check now and again, but it sure seems CSB is effectively dead - old and new.

[Jarlaxle]

So of the Cafe refugees left, there is Jim, Andrew, Sue, Kristina, Quad, Joe, Econoline and myself? Dales, were you at the Cafe too?

I still keep in touch with a bunch of the others, via Facebook or Smitty's place (which is still up and running, but the group gets smaller and older and more grumpy as the years go by).

I was also at Dartre, though not "Jarlaxle" at the time.

Who were you?

Same guy, different dark elf...I was "Drizzt DoUrden" at Dartre. (I never saw him post, but "Jarlaxle" was taken.)

[Guinevere]

Ahh, I remember that name!

[Joe Guy]

I remember Drizzt!!

I wonder how many of us had other handles at Cafe Dartre & CSB? It would be interesting to maybe start a thread on that.

I used lots of names at Cafe Dartre.

btw - where's quad?

He appears to be missing in action... or out of action.. or in suspended animation... or something.

Why is that, I wonder?

Oh my word, how could we forget the rubester?

[Gob]

Practice...

[Lord Jim]

And he's such a humble and modest fellow that he didn't even point out the oversight...

[Guinevere]

Didn't he have a different handle at the cafe? He certainly had a completely different personality.

[Sue U]

As I recall, he was initially known as SiO2, but switched to rubato shortly thereafter when someone stole his unregistered handle.

[Lord Jim]

Wow, that's some memory you've got there Sue....

He certainly had a completely different personality.

My recollection is that he's had exactly the same persona since his first post...

In fact, I remember that when he first showed up his persona was such a perfect personification of the Conservative caricature of the obnoxious, knee jerk, condescending thinks-he-knows-it-all-really-doesn't-know-anything loud-mouthed boorish Liberal, that I honestly thought he was a put on (like "Smilin' Irishman")

Like a Liberal invented by Rush Limbaugh....

Eventually he convinced me he was actually on the level...

And then when Methuselah showed up, for a while I was convinced he must be a rube sock puppet because I had great difficulty believing that there could actually be two people in the world like that....

My mind just couldn't process it...

[Sue U]

Wow, that's some memory you've got there Sue....

Some things just stick in my head. It's chock full of weird trivialities like that.

And then when Methuselah showed up, for a while I was convinced he must be a rube sock puppet because I had great difficulty believing that there could actually be two people in the world like that....

Methuselah was quite distinct; worked in the entertainment industry and lived in SoCal, I think. He could get a little cranky but I always thought he was generally good natured. The Cafe was full of quirky characters, and the bar around back was usually a lively place of its own.

I know the feeling...

I still remember all the lyrics to the theme from F Troop....

And Roger Ramjet....

I'm using up a lot of brain space with that kind of stuff....

[Gob]

Which explains a great deal!

[Lord Jim]

Which explains a great deal!

On the other hand, that leaves me with no room to retain anything at all about Cricket, so I guess I should count myself ahead....

[Rick]

Ba da boom...

I remember Methuselah...he was way, way left and a little nuts...but did not seem to be a bad guy. (Just a nutty one...)

Sharp contrast to Rube, who is a Grade AAA+ dipshit.

[Lord Jim]

Speaking of posters who's personas changed, Quad certainly fit that bill...

He wasn't always the vicious, bullying überprick that he ultimately became...

For a number of years he was a pretty easy going guy who rarely got into personal dust-ups...

I remember back at the cafe he was tormented somewhat by a character with the handle "speedy gooddriver"

I always assumed that was the sock puppet of a regular; "Speedy's" only purpose seemed to be to needle Quad...I found his sardonic shots and quad's sometimes very irritated responses somewhat amusing, but I never figured out who "Speedy" was...I do recall though that he had pretty good sense of sarcastic humor...

[Lord Jim]

Of course the all time champion persona change award goes to good old med....
