It is kind of amazing when I think of all the things that have happened in my life since I started posting on Languish. Basically my entire adult life.

Love you guys. Here is to 20 more when we can start grumbling about living on a fixed income and chatting about our grandchildren.

We need legacy blood.

Languish's continuation depends on those of you with crotch fruit*.

Thanks.  Another member I didn't recall until now.  Which user with "Captain" in the name was the one we used to tease GF with by pretending we thought that GF was just a sock of the "Captain" poster?  Or maybe it wasn't "Captain" but some  other title.

We also need to get the old blood to start posting here again.

Are you thinking of General Wolfe?

Captain Crunch.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Captain Crunch.

Captain Crunch was definitely both a Captain and a former poster, but I'm convinced grumbles was thinking of Gen. Wolfe.  It wasn't so much we thought one was a sock puppet of the other, but people would confuse their names, either accidentally or for comedic effect.  Think General Fox, Grey Wolfe, that kind of thing.
