As I posted on Minimus thread:
Ok, now I'm really p*ssed
...that ole Gumbers should be made to feel so bad that he has to go to such lengths with a sack-o-shyte organisation to get his family back! It must be brain-numbing, knowing what he knows! On top of that, that explains why we've seen so little of him, and I miss my ole nutshinin' buddy!
I know he won't mind me relating this story, but I called him up a couple of years ago on Thanksgiving. He was a little maudeline, as he had the house to himself and the rest of the family were visiting other family for a turkey dinner (not Thanksgiving, of course, you understand) and he was excluded.
Personally I would rather perform an auto-frontal-lobotomy (preferably with a .45) before going back. I do understand that some find themselves in a different place, however, and I totally respect their responsibility to make their own choices.
Gah, thinking about this really does make me feel sick, though
Gumbobbit, we love ya bro. Do what you have to do, but keep your head in one piece and visit us, huh?
