Ok, totally lost here...

I stumbled back and had no idea how to find my way around this site at all...

It's almost like that time I was stuck inside that wet paper bag with only the stick, the leaf and a peice of gum...

Stupid gum lost its flavour in like 5 mins and I was unable to punch my way out of the bag.

So, that being said, who's still here? who knows me?

VI!!!!!

Welcome back! We've missed the hot dog stand. But weren't you Village Idiot before?

The TAROM and InnPoints forums might be gone, but you are the stuff of legend. I was talking about you just a few weeks ago.

WOW! Speak of the Devil.

My son and I were just talking about how much he enjoyed meeting you and dorian at the Vancouver party a few years ago.

How long ago was that?

Anyway, Welcome Back!.

You were very much missed! We just weren't a complete village without an idiot.

Hope you kept up with the back rent on that Hot Dog stand.

That Starwood membership card you showed me once I still chuckle about.

I'd love to know if they still allow you to carry it with all those prefixes.

Actually you are quite correct on that - the single digit post count above had me curious:

Now I am a little confused I may have mixed up 2 members? Apologies if I have.

Whoops!!!

I forgot, first day I signed up, I made VillageIdiot, then, I couldn't log in, so, i made Village Idiot...

I am both, but now I remember who I am. Thanks for reminding me. It's been a while and I stopped wearing my helmet about 2 years ago so my memory is fading quickly.

But, let me just say, SANDIEGO1K!!! PUNKI!!! OZSTAMPS!!! KOKONUTZ!!! MILEAGEADDICT!!! OZSTAMPS one more TIME!!!

Wow, has no one left? Is my Caped Sidekick, the boy wonder Chexfan still here?

oh!!! hey, Kokonutz, Sorry dude, I stole your name on a couple dating sites. After I broke up with my ex i joined lavalife, but some guy from New York called himself "village idiot". After reading his profile, I quickly determind he didn't "earn" the name as I have. So, I stole yours...

but, the good news is, chicks seem to dig you!!!

I was reading the You know you're old on FT when ... thread and thinking of you (and of course Arturo, but perhaps you ARE Arturo?)

So, welcome home!

OMG... talk about a blast from the past. This thread is taking me to days past (like chat circa over five years ago!)

I'd be lost too - I think your cart may be parked over at InnPoints... but goodness knows where InnPoints is parked these days. No wonder you can't find your way around!

That story doesn't quite hold water. Your "Village Idiot" persona has a join date of January 2001, while "VillageIdiot" has November 2002. @:-)

But what else would one expect of a village idiot, anyhow?

maybe I logged in Drunk one night, i dunno, but I do remember not being able to figure out why my post count was only 2 or something. Sandy1k pointed out that I was an Idiot... :P

CHEXY!!!! Markbach!!! KathyWdrf!!!

Was i the only one who left? wow! and yeah, who has my hotdog cart? I remember leaving it to Aurtro (sp?) before I left. He was supposed to "pimp my ride".

He didn't strip it for parts did he?
