The Sophist is: OUT

*Wanders in, kicking some tumbleweeds back out the door, gesturing to the bartender for a drink*

Well, my fellow IPers, the time has come.

After what seemed like and unending series of obstacles, I now have approximately 0.25 seconds to report for my MiB brainwa...er...training.

So, for the next four months (at least) I'll be unhooked. Off the grid. Aconnected. Neither wired nor wireless. Working without a Net. Sans modem. Losing my bloody mind. And other euphamisms for lacking unlimited internet access.

Anyway - until such a time as I'm once again able to jack into the wider world...play nice, don't take any wooden nickels, and watch out for itinerant grues.

Vaya con Dios, mi amigos.

*raises his glass, drains it, and smacks it down on the bar...

...then turns the sign over his table to read "The Sophist is: OUT", vanishing in a poof of logic*

O there's sober men in plenty, and drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety who have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,and from Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over and together will face the world!

There's many that feign enjoyment for merciless employment
Their ambition was this deployment since the minute they left the school
They save and scrape and ponder while the rest go out and squander
See the world, and rove and wander, and they're happier as a rule.

O there's sober men in plenty, and drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety who have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,and from Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over and together will face the world!

I've roamed through all the nations, ta'en delight in all creation
And I've tried a wee sensation where the company did prove kind
And when parting was no pleasure, I've drunk another measure
To the good friends that we treasure for they always are in our minds.

O there's sober men in plenty, and drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety who have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,and from Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over and together will face the world!

For the lassies young and sprightly, them I courted nightly
Where stayin' wasn't likely, for I ramble up and down;
'Cause life it would be hearty, I'd dance at every party,
Meet ramblin' Dan McCarthy and we'll all go on the town.

O there's sober men in plenty, and drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety who have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,and from Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over and together will face the world!

So when troubles do befall me, to the high road I do haul me
Ramblin' Johnny's what you call me, 'tis me blessing and me bane.
Though my comrades have been many, I'll take a drink with any
'Til I've spent me last wee penny, and life I'll not see again.

O there's sober men in plenty, and drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety who have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,and from Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over and together will face the world!

If you've bent with arth-er-itis, your bowels have got colitis
You have gallopin' bollockitis and your thinkin' it's time you died
You've been a man of action tho you're lying there in traction
You may gain some satisfaction sayin' "Jaysus, at least I tried!"

O there's sober men in plenty, and drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety who have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,and from Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over and together will face the world!`
