    Haha that is funny sh!t Steven. You guys humor is great. If you can get him back ask him to please bring @Big Green Dave with him. Hardest I've laughed and cried in a single post was the tree rat/wine post. Priceless.

    Ahem. "...and he used his bottom as a trumpet" is a translation of that ending Latin line of Dante's. I remember Stike well. Once I criticized him and he sent me a long personal message philosophizing about it. Can't remember what the offense was, but he sure was eloquent!

    Overrated blowhard. Know it all. 
    He has driven off too many good people, like tweev and rubmyrock and that guy who juat wanted to share his love of shun knives. 

    Menace

    he lurks here occasionally under the name "zippy lisp" or something similar. 

    Frankly, all he ever did was parrot Kenji

    I don't think he took offense. He probably wanted to make sure you weren't offended.

    As stupid as he was, in person he was actually quite polite.

    I would say 99.99% of folks don't realize he is kidding or being sarcastic

    but that aside, if i heard he fell off a cliff and was killed tomorrow, I wouldn't shed a tear

    For a while he used @Darby_Crenshaw
    That was definitely the old @stike
    I sent "Darby" a question about a very old Bible that belonged to my grandmother and the response he gave was certainly "stike like".

    The most polite, reserved, conservatively thoughtful guy.  Always hoped he'd be more open and honest.  I fear for him having been gone so long.

    Screw stike. I miss Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Well. There's a very logical and simple reason why I wouldn't have any reaction if he dropped dead tomorrow

    :)
    That reason is...welcome back, Stike. How are the boys doing?

    Don't miss him at all- his constant harping on the virtues of japanese knives combined with his overboard opinions about throwing leftovers away after a single day really started to wear on me.  

    Plus his insistance on covering beef in a bag when dry aging and never going past 14 days was just wrong. Don't get me started on his hatred of charcuterie, diatribes about the virtues of paperback books, etc. 

    Yep- don't think we have had another member spout so much baseless garbage- it's almost like he never attended a science class or was even willing to use basic common sense. 

    Plus did you see those pumpkins he used to carve? My 6 year old could do better.

    He’s a small, hurtful, envious, spiteful little man-child and I for one am glad he’s gone for anyone that revels in causing dissension and strife as he did for so many years doesn’t belong on the internet.

    I agree. He somehow posted that under my handle. A cruel man for sure.

    stike was dead before I joined, luckily old threads don't die :-)

    I heard he cooked some steaks he left in the fridge uncovered for 3 days and died a horrible painful death from food poisoning.  Turned out his fridge thermostat was off and the steak hit 40.5 degrees.

    I recall that after his absence, the word then is as now-not stike although his posts definitely had a similar composition and style.

    Personally. seneca seemed to be a bit dry and flat and clinical. Not in a bad way. Just sorta lacking social skills. Even more than stike

    6 weeks ago I was hoping to see one of the pumpkin carvings. Man I wish I had 1% of the artistic skills that were used in carving them.

    For my wife. Her favorite is the Legend of Sleepy Hollow

    it wraps around, but here's the pithy part. HH chasing Ichabod. Black horse, white horse. Giant moon behind them

    imgur won't let me link the album on mobile. Here's a gif

    http://imgur.com/MGZq4iS

    I have done this one a couple times. Usually cartoonish. This was a bit more ominous and semi-realistic.  I also added the whole "town left in flames behind them" thing



    Above, Ichabod's farm in flames



    Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (above)



    In daylight. 


    And tossed to rot on the compost pile

    Thanks. But we all have our stuff. Plenty of stuff you can do that I can't do, I'm sure
