Oh, I'll check in, and I still read a lot. The Goat Pen came up on IC and a couple of us tried to pump you guys up, so maybe you'll be seeing some new guys. The Goat Pen is unique because it's had such a tight group of guys for so long--and most of us have even met each other from time to time. There must have been ten guys on IC talking about the old CNN days--I bet some of them will wander on back here.

We didn't tell them your pee smells like ham though, that might run a few people off!

Why no choice of Otter in the mascot wars? I'd have thought the croc would have been replaced by the otter by now.

I'm guessing Floater, after he went coo-coo.

Ben Washburn · Post by **Ben Washburn** » Thu Jul 28, 2011 11:52 pm

Is Floater still around?

No. He had a major meltdown.

And seriously just disappeared? Was it a Goat Pen thing or something serious? Does anybody know where he is or if he's ok?

I always kind of liked him--he seemed like a good guy with some demons sometimes. I remember when he put peanut butter in the hard drive at work! When he got upset about something he went full tilt, that's for sure.

He flipped out claiming I did something to you which I can't at this point in the evening remember. When he was called on it he up and quit this place much like Nixon. Dude totally lost it.

Did I ever hurt you Ben? Did I?

No more than the normal give and take--not that I remember, anyhow. I remember being pissed off at you a couple of times, but it was a normal Goat Pen pissed off, nothing serious.

I wonder what it was? I hate that he left over something that must have been a misunderstanding.

Jungle Rat · Post by **Jungle Rat** » Fri Jul 29, 2011 12:21 am

I think it was more than that. He went nutz

Ben Washburn · Post by **Ben Washburn** » Fri Jul 29, 2011 12:24 am

Well, I hate to say it, but he did seem to have some demons and I can see that something like that could happen. He didn't seem to think life had given him a very fair shake, and he was probably right.

If I recall correctly, it was fairly epicly sad and funny.

Floater said Rat should get kicked off the boards for his regular Crow shenanigans, especially because it wasn't his first offense. He remembered Rat doing something even worse to you (Ben.) I think he also claimed it was the reason you were not posting at TGP anymore.

Then pretty much everyone said they couldn't remember Rat ever doing what Floater was accusing him of.

Then Floater screamed that everyone else must be taking crazy pills and said either Rat be banned or he would post no more forever, and then he was gone with the wind... like a blind Mary Poppins in a hurricane.

Ben Washburn · Post by **Ben Washburn** » Fri Jul 29, 2011 12:33 am

Well, I missed all that! But Rat never did anything to drive me off the boards, that I do know. But maybe Floater thought that for some reason.

Rat kept calling Crow by his real name, which is an asshole move , Rat btw,

but because Crow was always in dickhead mode nobody took his complaints seriously, not to mention Crow's logic was to start posting personal stuff about me because I didn't deal with Rat to his satisfaction (although I did go and edit Rat's posts.)

Floater jumps up and says Rat did something like posting a home address but I can't remember the details of the accusation.

Not a single person remembered the incident other than Floater and he got pissed that we weren't all that interested in creating a inquisition over it.

Of course Crow is yapping and egging Floater on during all this, so Floater takes our indifference personally as a slight against him and declares he is done with the place.

It took us all by surprise but with the general mood of none of us wanting to deal with that kind of dramatics, I think he was further incensed that none of begged him not to leave. It was like

Not to mention that no one ever really quits here
