A Message to Bricktop on the Occasion of his Formal Retirement

[Blurt]

I was saddened to hear that a pillar of this community, a man who left no one indifferent, a game changer whose public persona was a satisfying mix of irreverent wit and deep intelligence, has chosen to hang up his spurs and call it a day.



But enough about King Martini, I'm here to talk about Bricktop.



Leo,



If you go, who will I turn to for further training in the fine art of bombastic preening and delivering the well placed bon mot? How will my need for intellectual stimulation be met if you vanish into the great Online Outback? How will I ever survive this great abandonment?

You still have old Herman. Give me some barrel wash and I am a blue collar philosopher.

[Blurt]

Actually, Herman, I've found you philosophize better when you're sober and I've come to appreciate your prairie eloquence and grasslands wit.



Took me a while. Could be I'm a slow learner.

I will forgive you for that. You aint a graduate from crowbar U like old Herman is.

[Blurt]

Nah, I ain't.



Still wondering what to do with my degree from Monkey Bar Community College and Halfway House.

Kindling. Any more advice you need, feel free to ask old Herman.

So when is the party? I am waiting for the date, time, and venue of the retirement party.

[@realAzhyaAryola]

Am I to bring something?

[@realAzhyaAryola]

So there's no party then? Bummer.

[@realAzhyaAryola]

Really? No retirement party? Disappointing.
