Congrats to both parties..

Yesterday was a big day :)

Congratulations, guys! This is awesome!! :) :) :) Though I think this has to be the worst keep secret on the internet, lol!

Or is there more you're saving for later? :groucho:

Wow the troll is moving on in life.

Just one question with MikeAI gone who is going to hold up and wave the flag?

Possibly coming to a town near you… one troll looking for employment. Comes complete with conservative animated talking flagpole.

I am fuckin' speechless and thank everybody for a VERY warm words...I am fuckin' touched!

Oprano family will always be our family,
in thoughts, deeds, and spirit.

Congrats to everyone !!!!!!

:cdance: :bjump: :purpdance: :hic:

Honor, Loyalty, Appreciation are much rare sightings nowadays
;-)))

Think you know how I feel on that one :)

There will always be a glass waiting for you at our table Serge :okthumb:

(You too Mike.... well as long as Katie comes too :nyanya: )

I guess this means that Serge will have time to travel now : )

Mike.. maybe you should take up something new like golf : ) ... nah.. then you would have to get another job to pay for the balls you lose !

See yall soon !!

Wow! Congratulations Mike, Serge, Nick and Gonzo. :)

Ya'll surprised the hell outta me. :okthumb:

Bext of luck to all of you the new and the old :okthumb:

Only Half right?

Who did you think Gonzo was gonna team up with then?! :awinky:

Congratulations to old and new owners.

I look forward to seeing what becomes of Oprano.

congratulations to all involved.... :D

Good luck Gonz and Nick. This should be interesting.

Just rolling out of bed...
Like Kimmy, I was only half right as well, but very happy and surprised to see the announcement.

I wish Gonzo and Nick the very best in this new venture, although I'm sure it will probably seem like old hat to them.

Serge and Mike. Good job getting the board where it is today. My mind is wandering back to the early days of the flat board now. Oh what fun that was as well.

Good luck to all! B)

Wow! Congrats to all!

Indeed! And you have to hold onto them when you find them.

Serge, Mike, what's next for each of you?

yo nick, you know those things I said about you over the past few weeks............



I was jus playin : ))))



congrats to nick and gonzo and thanks to Mike and serge, I've been here since the beginning and will be around till the end (unless nick bans me :) it's a great place with great folks...............FAMILY! :wnw:

Holy Shit, name change to OPainO? LOL J/k

Cograts to Serge and Mike, even tho you guys are out of message board biz, hope that doesnt mean your out of the message board biz, the net wouldnt be the same without either of you but Serge now you might be able to fit some more trips to Europe and other places and if so I would like to tag along with you and Susan:) LMK.

Congrats to Nick and Gonzo, im sure you guys will put your own stamp on it in no time, good luck to you both and thanks again to Serge and Mike for some great board memories.

Indeed! And you have to hold onto them when you find them.

Serge, Mike, what's next for each of you? [/b][/quote]
I dunno about Mike, but we are contemplating running to South America and open the lepper colony...
worked for fish called Wanda
;-)))

If Mike takes my advice, he'll be moving to Iran to become a Minister of Justice
;-))))

Meat,
glad you mentioned that....we DO have a few European trips planned you might tag along....have you reinstated your "privilleges" in Spain?
;-))

Nothern Italy, Spain and Iceland by car are still in the planning stages
;-))

I was surprised too, about the NEW team. I would have never guessed Nick. You are one of the few people I have never met. When we gonna change that?

Congrats MikeAI & Serge. Now Mike can get back to spending more time with his wife & making money. Serge can travel without wondering what is happening at Oprano. I am sure you both have mixed feelings:-) But, I know you will both be back & raise more hell than ever.. :P

Congrats Gonzo & Nick - a new venture is always exciting!

Serge, after our last trip togther, even tho i was sick i can hosnetly say even tho ive traveled alot, a trip away isnt the same until you have traveled with Serge and Susan.

I would love to check out europe with you guys :) Spain is a fantastc country:) would love to see it again:)

excelelnt! we are planning the trip around end of April/may and intend to hit all their wineries, besides all the museums
;-))

Bring your clean liver for a ride
;-)))

Out to DV, the first deed of every self respecting retiree is to set a garden and she has the biggest supply of fruit trees in Florida!
;-)))

Sounds great Serge, count me in:)

One chapter ends and another chapter begins of internet history.

But the BOOK, is far from over.

Congrats and good luck!

Oh shit!!!


It wasn't a dream...............


;-))

Cleo do I detect a bit of jealousy? It's ok, keep working hard and maybe one day you can retire as well.

The flag waving will continue. If a po'boy from down on the bayou can retire at 34, the American dream is still alive. Embrace it!

:salute:

Vick really did say it best, but ... to paraphrase the great American philosopher Al Swearinger, congratulations to the incoming and the outgoing cocksuckers. :salute: :salute:

the only sour apples on this whole thread is cleo.....

Thks to all for the best wishes.

And MikeAI and Serge, can rest assured We will look after it. :)

I don't plan on every retiring. It is my belief that it causes that body and mind to atrophy.
