**Deiket!** Yes, it would seem that I have caused yet another person to join the board. (Anybody remember **SpinnieZiege**? Naw, neither do I). This time, though, the circumstances are even graver. This time, it’s my girlfriend. Though she actually joined back in August, she’s been lurking around for a while, and just resurfaced in some of my old threads. So, in the interest of welcoming her all official-like, and as evidence of my thick-headedness, I’m throwing a wild party to welcome her to the board. But, as you all know, wild parties just ain’t wild without anyboy at them, so I’m leaving the parameters of the party up to all of you guys! Have fun! \ ---
