The hampsters are wrong, of course. I had almost 100 posts, maybe more, when the board was brought down. Just to add insult to injury, it went down while I was in the hospital. Damn!
But here I am now, celebrating my official 200th post. Care to join me? Cheesecake and dancing girls, whipped cream flying throught the air, all the trappings. This is gonna be fun!

Maybe all the people spelling it “hampsters” were influenced by that incredibly cheesy song “The Hampster Dance” by “Hampton the Hamster” that came out a couple years ago?

Sorry, **p@cific@812**. That was the first thing that popped to mind. (possibly aided by memories of watching “Fromage 2000” on MuchMusic… it’s a show that catalogs the worst videos of the year) Believe me, I didn’t mean you any lasting harm. 🙂

Dang. Hamsters.
Anyway, yes, cheesecake and dancing girls (and boys, why not?). It’s not just a party, it’s _the_ party!
