He'll be back soon enough - those like Olham can't be held down permanently

Thank you for your sympathy, MudWasp! Well, I'm here as much as my time allows right now, and I will be around more when I'm ready for that.

Still don't get it - from Duke's "man-crush resolved" on; what is so funny about? My English may be good - but it is far from perfect.

OK Duke, I'll give it a go then.
Olham, a "man crush" is when a straight man has strong, non-sexual feelings for another man, (typically a celebrity or someone of renown), to the point of idolizing that man. For instance, I would love to hang out with George Clooney, have a beer with him and listen to his stories, and hoping beyond hope that at some point he would slap me on the shoulder and say something like "Lou, you're an alright guy". This scenario could further involve me sitting across the table from him, my head in my hands, my feet swinging back and forth under my chair, as I stare at his dreamy eyes while he talks, but it wouldn't necessarily have to.
EDIT: I just realized that while I described what the man crush is, I didn't explain why my comment was funny, (or at least was meant to be). The man crush usually focuses on more 'manly' attributes: physical prowess, athletic capabilities, rugged good looks, that sort of thing. I twisted that a bit in my initial comment with the mention of 'dreamy eyes', which would be something a girl or young woman might focus on about a man, not a man on another man in the 'man crush'. Does this help, Olham? Humor can be tricky to explain across cultures. .

. To each his own Duke, to each his own. And truth be told, I've a bit of a man crush on the OBD team as well. They're all just so ... dreamy. .
