I don’t know if they are as common in your part of the world as they are here in Australia, but we have this phenomena called comeback tours. Some bands specifically have last shows and break up purely to have comeback tours.
There is one guy, John Farnham, that is the master of this art. Even though 80% of Australians say “thank god and good riddance” everytime he has a farewell tour, he’s back a year or two later.
That said, there are some comebacks I crave. Sex Pistols was one such tour, and if I didn’t get so drunk and fall asleep, I might have enjoyed the failfest it was.
There is one (ok two) blogger comeback tours I would love to see… She of too little mana, Megan.
I want the IRS to track Megan down and force her to do a Willie Nelson (or half Nelson, even a Nelson… Ha Ha!).
I want her in the right group with sufficient replenishment that she is no longer OOM.
Now I’m not a stalking Gnome (much) but I have noticed a few things.
- New blog header
- Random comment deriding awesome bloggers that throw in the keyboard
- An ode to bloggers lost
I must also admit I tracked her down and had a quick chat with her toon in exile.
Now, I don’t know how much cheer squads influence such awesome bloggers, but I thought I would start a petition-poll and encourage a few cheer squad chants in the hope it tips the balance.
OOM comeback tour poll:
Cheer Squad Chants
Now maybe if you are so inclined you will join me in devising your own fan club chant, here’s a couple of mine.
Out of Mana
Out – of – Mana
Out – of – Mana
Your – so – Leet
Your – so – Leet
I need some more stories
Full of battlegrounds and glory
We can’t beat
Your so leet!
Hey Megan!
Oh Megan, you’re so fine,
You’re so fine you blow my mind
Hey Megan! Hey Megan!
Hey Megan!!!
You’ve been around all fight,
And that’s a little long.
You think you’ve got the right,
But I think you’ve got it wrong.
Why’d you have to say ‘goodbye’
So u can come on home, Megan!
Please come on home Megan!
Cuz when you say you will,
It always means you won’t.
You’re givin’ me the chills,
Baby please, baby don’t!
Every night you still
Leave me all alone, Megan!
Oh Megan, what a pity,
You don’t understand!
You take me by the heart
And you take me by the hand!
Oh Mickey, you’re so pretty
Why can’t you understand?
It’s girls like you, Megan!
Oh, what you do, Megan
Do, Megan,
Don’t break my heart, Megan!
Hey Megan!
Now when you take me by the hooves,
Who evers gonna know?
Every time you move,
I let a little more show!
There’s something you can use,
So please don’t say ‘no’ Megan!
So come on, and give it to me
Anyway you can.
Anyway you wanna do it,
I’ll take it like a Gnome!
So please, baby, please
Don’t leave me in the down, Megan!
Hey Megan!
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine,
You’re so fine you blow my mind
Hey Megan! Heh, Heh, Hey Megan!
Oh Megan, you’re so fine,
You’re so fine u blow my mind
Hey Megan! Heh, heh,Hey Megan!
Oh Megan, what a pity,
You don’t understand!
You take me by the heart
And you take me by the hand!
Oh Megan, you’re so pretty
Why can’t you understand?
It’s girls like you, Megan!
Oh, what you do, Megan
Do, Megan,
Don’t break my heart, Megan!
Oh Megan, you’re so fine,
You’re so fine u blow my mind
Hey Megan! Heh, heh,Hey Megan!
Oh Megan, what a pity,
You don’t understand!…
We may be ignored
Now I accept that she may bat away my/our wish like a President bats a fly, but she must know that there will be the same outrage from PETA (People Expecting True Awesomeness).
I had some success in the past with raising lost bloggers, join me in my efforts to refill the mana bar of one of the best.
You never know, if Megan’s comeback tour is a success, maybe we can chant Jong’s house down too!
Gnomer and Out!

I lack your ability with the prose, but I will agree that my days have been less cheery since Megs and Jong departed.
Would love to see them back… if they want to. <3
I, for one, welcome our new Megan overlords.
I’m not one to browbeat, but if she did decide to share with us every now and then, I would be evar so grateful.
Regardless of whether she does or not, I enjoy the occasional sighting
Ohh Look… Jong couldn’t (For)bear(ance) to be away from us…
I know, right? This is great, all you need is two more for a set!
I love Jong, and Megan in a stalking, white van, bowl of candy way.
I totally agree. I miss Megs.
And who knew you could write such songs of total awesomeness?!?!
lol yeah… songs of total awesomeness… not…
I still have one more song in me… I think I have changed 5 words out of the 500… so i will claim it as mine too…
Might post it one day soon…
[...] embarked on campaigns to bring her back… I did the same with Jong [...]
