Nope, looks like he's still around:

Oh ok, must have been one of the other Smurfs, I saw a post in one of the threads, should have written the name down ( names and numbers are hard for me to remember  lol ).

AndyClifton: I think the fellow who got tossed used a Smurf with a beard, sorry I can't recall the name.

I have previously mentioned there are some very nice avatars at this site. I see that someone is now using the Jughead character from the Archie comics, boy that took me back a few year as I used to be a fan of Comic books ( and Cartoons too ).

Btw cabadenwurt, I just had a thought:  does the "--" in the title stand for "ar" or for "am"? 

Well as you know from the flag by my avatar I'm up here in Canada and I think that we use the " AR " version more, we are very polite up here. Mind you if someone insults our Beer we get mad ( like in the " Canadian Bacon " movie with John Candy  lol ).  

Funny, I always think of you guys cussin like sailors! 

Well that would be after we have had a couple of glasses of that good Canadian Beer.

I assume you're talking about a few of these:

This is my favorite av right now, the one of wbilfc:

(Actually, it looks cuter when it's small.)

Thanks for the posts AndyClifton. Yes Moosehead is a good brew and is very popular in it's home-base of Newfoundland. I'm quite far west ( north of Montana ) and we also have some good brews out here. Shockingly enough one of these brews goes by the name of Molson's Canadian  lol.

I'm sure lately you guys can get Castle Lager up there?

Good South Arican beer.

Thanks for the info Rooperi. I live in rather small town and our one Liquor store has a rather limited selection of imported brews. Things used to be a bit better a few months back but the store is under new management and things are going downhill. Mind you a new Liquor store is being built in another town about 35 kms further away, perhaps they will do better.

cab sets out with a few friends for the promised new liquor store:

Thanks for that cute picture AndyClifton. The new store is owned by a local Co-operative so I hope that as a member I can get a discount there. 

Well today I had my first look at the new store since about 3 weeks back. Now all the supports are up for the walls and the roof is in place, things are looking quite good. They need to get the outside walls done soon as at this time of years the Weather could change quite quickly. With any luck we could hold the first taste-testing in the new store by early November.   

I think that I've got the correct info on the disappearing Smurf now. I gather the one that got the boot was Echecs06 aka Papa Smurf.

What about changing it every few weeks or a month? Is there anything wrong with that?

Oh well it is your own avatar after all  lol. Early on in this thead I mentioned that I set this thread up sort of tongue-in-cheek. Mind you there are a few people here who seem to change their avatar every day or two, rather confusing I would say.

Wow, echecs was cheating?
