    Question WHERE IS ERIC?

    I saw the poll about when Eric would return but that didn't tell me why he has been gone in the first place. Anyone know what's up? He is missed (by me at least but I suspect by many).

    I thought he was in Mexico, but had internet connectivity problems and had to miss the last few FPGeeks TV shows...

    Well...yeah. I saw that news some while ago. Seem like ages now. But I thought somehow that was a short vacation not a semi-permanent stay.

    This thread is awesome! Added rep for all of you!

    Ok, I just a thought. I want everyone to come up with the wildest story they can for why Eric fled went to Mexico and/or what has happened to him.

    Personally, I think he is working on a new ink formula that uses water from Mexico and makes pens made from anywhere else in the world sick.

    You can add to a users "reputation" by clicking the little sheriff badge looking icon. That then adds to the person's "Rep Power".

    You can also search the FAQ for "reputation" for a more detailed explanation. http://fpgeeks.com/forum/faq.php

    Exclamation Where is Eric?

    I have been told by certain reputable sources, that Eric has been sent to this canyon in northern Sonora on a vision quest by his Tohono O'odham Indian guru, Don Jose. Eric has adopted the nagual name "Hinojoso", made certain transpecies alliances with Raven, and has been waiting patiently for his Vision. If successful in this difficult but wonderful endeavor he may be able to come back to this World and lead us in a transcendental realization of the Higher Meaning of ink and pen.

    Meanwhile, any rumors of Eric being sighted in a canoo on a Norwegian fjord are highly dubious, reports a flock of confused moose.

    Indeed dubious as moose do not "flock". Moose are collectively grouped as a "herd".

    Good point! (Although perhaps they flock when they get confused?)

    This is all fascinating chit-chat I am sure but we still need to find out for sure "Where is Eric"?
    Plenty of rumor but few facts eh?

    Word has it that the Daily Carry pens Eric took with him were kidnapped before he made it back across the border into the US. When he discovered they were missing he flew into such a rage that he was immediately taken into custody by the authorities. Since then any signs of life or contact to the outside world have been few and far between. The only explanation that has made its way across the border appears to have been heavily censored and alludes to internet connection issues. Meanwhile the ransom notes addressed to Eric from the pennappers have been collecting dust on the desk of an unconcerned guard at the border.

    FPGeeks cannot confirm or deny the existence of a squad of highly trained [REDACTED].
    "What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
