even this great win did not bring Howie

[bulls96go]

back to the fold!

we miss you man!

come on back home!

[79 Bull]

Howie is all over other boards so he is alive.  Do you think he at least comes back to read?

[E.T.]

We want you back Howie !

Go BULLS !!!

[Brad]

Yeah, HowieP seems to have left us like offense left Louisville on Saturday...gone without a trace.

Well, I'll continue my multi-thronged and international efforts to lure him back, but we'll have to close the book on this sooner or later and let the healing process complete itself.

I'll close the chapter on HowieP when his name drops off the the Top 5 posters list on the main page where he currently sits at #4:

1. smazza 28188  

2. E.T. 15986  

3. Velcro 15885  

4. HowieP 10400  

5. TripleB 9664

At that time, I'll remove the wonderfully creative HowieP Yellow Ribbon image:

I'll also close his account on TheBullsPen.com and put his name and avatar on eBay available to the highest bidder.  Someone can add 10,400 posts in a relatively quick manner by taking on the personna of HowieP.

Buy it on eBay!

HowieP

10,400 posts

We'll then go through a re-education process that de-programs all members, making HowieP nothing but a memory at most for those able to withstand the psychological manipulations.

We'll probably purge all of his posts as part of this program as well as delete any images he has uploaded to the server.

After that we'll pretend none of this ever happened.

And if we happen to bump into HowieP at a game or other event, we'll say "Hey what's happening Howie, we sure miss you on the board."

;D

Who's #6 because I'll stop posting under this ID at 10,399 .............. ?

Why did Howie leave? I liked that guy.

Bulliever,

If you do get to the point where you close Howie's account, I think you should retire Howie's little groggy-eyed coffee drinking computer guy avatar.

Maybe we could just copy and paste his messages from other boards onto this board!   :

I knew that would put some pressure on you Trips...I meant to offer my apologies for the awkward position you might find yourself in - extinguishing the memory of a message board icon (literally and figuratively).

Well TB, ChiTown would be the guy to bump Howie off the Top 5 list, and if he doesn't do it, I will have to - unless we all go on a posting strike.

The clock is ticking for HowieP ....  This could make for very interesting bye week drama!!!   ;D

That's almost 2000 posts to get him out of the top 5.  That's going to take a while.
