A Conversation for LIL'S ATELIER
9DXth Conversation at Lil's
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Started conversation Dec 10, 2009
Welcome to the Atelier, that preserve of seasoned h2g2 researchers, hotbed of discussion, and congeries of unique entities. Bastion of netiquette. Basket of eldritch cheeses. Mob of well-informed savants. You take my point.
We begin each conversation by listing who attended before, what notable moments may have occurred, ad what we talked about before we settle into the new conversation. If this is your first visit, please take some time to read our forum page at A304254 ; we actually have geography, pets, illustrations, and a voluminous backstory.

Newcomers: Julzes, rowlybirkin, Imp of the Perverse
Prodigal Salonistas: Welcome back to Bluebottle
Departing Salonistas: Bookmouse, come back whenever you have time for us again.
Absent Salonistas: Good news about Sporky's continuing recovery
Best pun: a pig mask with wings is called The Swine Flew. The frequent puns of Wandering Albatross are high quality as well: he has taken up the mantle left by Garius Lupus.
Shortest unemployment period: Witty Moniker

Hey! You missed me off the roll-call 
May there be rabbits to chase, comfy sofas to lie on and a fire you can get right in front off where you've gone, Annie.

Greetings salonistas!
I'm unlurking while there's no backlog to catch up on. My intention is to keep up with conversations instead of drowning in a rapidly rising tide of unread LEDs, as tends to happen to me round here.
