Is that ol' Boomtown?

[Boomtown13]

Hello brothers and sisters!

It's been a while. So long, in fact, that almost all of you reading this are saying "who the hell is he?" I was active on the ol' AMT scene (is it still alive?), and I met a good deal of you back in early 2000, at DVNC's all-too-inviting par-tays and Max's grand NEST 2000. (Man, now that was a party. We had a map of the country on the wall with thumbtacks showing where everyone was from. When those tacks came out, that thing must have looked like someone took a machine gun to it. There was even one special beauty who flew all the way from England!)

Anyway, I've been out of this here loop for quite a while, and I'd love to reconnect with my crew. Is anybody out there? (Just nod if you can hear me.)

You may remember that I posted a note a few months back relating my tickling success story. It ended with a beautiful and dreamy happily ever after. Well, unfortunately that ever after turned out to, in fact, be just a dream. Split infinitives and all. My girl and I broke up, and you can now disregard that long-winded, encouraging post. (As though you have it framed there above your desk, next to your Harry Potter wall calendar, below the singing fish.) That happened right before the WTC, and life is finally starting to get back to normal for me now.

I'm not making much magic with this posting, no true tickle tales in this string of paragraphs, but I've got some good ones. I'll share. Right now though, I just wanted to say hello. My name is Boomtown and I'm a tickler. A tickler majora. And I'm back, which is English for je suis retourne.

I hope my posting finds you all merry and bright.

Live from the City of Ankles,

Boomtown

Welcome back Boomtown! Nice to have you around. Sorry to hear about recent developments. Hope you enjoy your return.😎

 

[Dragonfly73]

Boom!

Hey guy... good to see you! I was just thinkin' about you the other day, when responding to a thread about longest tickle scenes. Glad you popped in to say you're still alive - I was startin' to wonder about ya!

... Anna (aka 'Loo)

 

[QBWeaver]

Boom! It's YOU! It's REALLY you!

Great to see you Babe! We've sure missed you. Especially your..."I'm a tickler, Damn it!".

Sorry things didn't work out with your lady. But I am glad to hear from some of the folks that the kids are doing great!

Hope you can make up back up this way soon! What are ya doing for New Years?

Jan

 

[dvnc]

Official welcomes and all that, brother. Good t'have ya back amongst us. Hope ya stick around, too!

Like Jan asks, brother, what are ya doin' for New Years? There's four days of it this time 'round. Drop in for some. All the other kids are doin' it. Chicks'll dig ya. You aren't chicken, are ya. [insert more juvenile goading here]

Seriously, it'd be great t'see ya!

Hey Kotter

Welcome back! I know I know, but welcome back Boomer was never a t.v. show.. and besides, to me you'll always be Platoon Boom... (reference to the famous Willem Dafoe pose Mr Town was fortunate enough to recreate for us at on of those said Par-Tays!!) LOL

 

[Myriads]

Hello Boomtown,

Welcome to the forum, glad to have you here with us!

Myriads

 

[Boomtown13]

Thanks, everyone! Such a warm welcome feels so very good right now, you have no idea. Especially since I disappeared into the underground without a word of warning. Love you guys!

Terry, I had completely forgotten about the Platoon pose. Wasn't that Kim and Nancy holding each arm, while Anna did the finger dancing? I remember laughing, and I remember you getting a kick out of it.

Myriad, thanks for the official welcome. Lovely place you've got here. With your permission, I'll kick back a spell.

Dave, Jan -- New Years, huh? For real? Where's it at? I had the kids last year, so I might actually be free this year. It's been a while, and I'd love to see you? Are festivities planned? And, tell me, these festivities -- are they all about the love?

Wellnowtherethen, look at this pretty Dragonfly. What a cool and sweet screen name you've evolved into. I've been gone for some seasons, huh? I hear wondrous things about you, dear woman. Let's talk on the phone and you can confirm them for me. Same numbers? Mine are. So you've been reminiscing about the longest tickle session? Would that be the metric hour? (Has it been beat yet?) Or are you referring to the weekend at Universal City?

People, Dragonfly here is the girl with very sensitive sides, however, she claimed, not very ticklish feet. This all changed when a fork was applied lightly to her bare soles under a table in a restaurant.

It's great to "see" you all again. Where's Purvis and Jeff? Are they here too? Bella?

Missed you all. Now let's find the most adorable, happy-dispositioned, melodic-laughing ticklees we can, and fill our worlds with true joy.

😱 No fair givin' away my secrets, Boom! Do you know that I actually had to TELL that story to a guy taking a survey the other day? (Long story as to why I was taking a survey that was related to tickling... I'll have to save that for another post.) He asked what objects I'd been tickled with, and when I said a fork, he actually dropped the phone!

Anyway... yes, we do indeed have some catching up to do. All of my numbers are different (I've moved about three times since last we talked), but I still have yours. Talk soon, and it's good to have you back!

Boom... New Years is at my place. DVNC can send you the directions again. Party starts Friday night and goes until Tuesday. Some up anytime!

 

[dvnc]

Yeah, Boom, just like it says in the GATHERINGS SECTION! *grumble* make a damned monthly MAILING... no one LISTENING... oughta just RESEND IT! *!#$%^@$%&#E$!!!

*huff*

*puff*

Ah, better now, thanks. Yeah, I'll be sendin' out a reminder, 'cause you ain't the first t'forget that this was scheduled a month ago, Boom. I was tryin' t'avoid sendin' a monthy mail for December. Alas. 😉

Wasn't Jan in on that Platoon pose, Boom? I could swear there were four on ya. We felt very sympathetic for ya, those of us standin' away from it. Weren't about t'get involved, mind ya, but we WERE sympathetic. They were just showin' ya they loved ya. Better you than me. *ahem*

Sending the update mailing soon...

Ummmm....wasn't that the drive back? Oh wait, nevermind!!! hehehe

 

[QBWeaver]

Yes I was in on that platoon thing with Boom. I'm the one who started the whole thing with him. I'll never forget those priceless words..."I'm a tickler, damn it!" That's when I backed out because I was laughing too hard!

Memories... Light the corners of my mind...

 

[hawkikim]

Well, the Governor enjoyed it if that has any bearing on the case.....

Boom, darn, it, good to see you again, and it seems to me that I (and maybe one or two others)got your feet in a hotel room in San Jose once upon a time too, so you may be a "tickler, dammit" but you do laugh SO nicely!

LOL - good to see you, man, and hope to see you at the New Yr's festivities!!! (just don't be NEAR my toes when Jan is serving fondue! )

Kim

 

[Boomtown13]

Dave 2112! You were the first person to throw me a TMF welcome, and I left you out of my last "thanks" posting! I appreciate the sentiment and I am already enjoying my time back. I missed all these folks.

Say, what's that picture? You holding a light saber? I have to look at it again.

Dave, Jan, you two have sharper memories than me, of course. (I chalk it up to what Terry mentions in his last post on this thread.)

And, Jan honey, you know that I AM a tickler, dammit. Those instances where I let you girls go to town (no pun on my name intended) was ALWAYS in the name of science.

Kim, I remember that San Jose hotel room, and I seem to remember 3 people tickling you at once -- under your arms (by a DeeVee-Encee), on your belly and sides (by a cute Dragonfly), and on your feet (courtesy of the mayor of Boomtown). I also remember the way your laughter grew more and more hysterical as the experts worked incessantly.

Strong possibility on the New Years front. Thanks a boatload for the invitation. Sounds all too fun. Hmmm, Kim's toes dipped in fondue. Hmmm.

Meeting new people would be a great way of dousing the last remaining embers of pain from my hellish breakup. I'm just about over it, and some excellent new stimulus is just what the doctor ordered to take me the rest of the way there.
