**B** ereft we were, yesterday, without the wise **SBS** , whose queenly glow inspires us all. **C** hef Imperial seems just reward for the wonderful meals **Watcher** provides. **D** ost not we all enjoy **Watcher** ’s talented ability to whip up whatever we request? **E** ast-coasters, it’s our time to post, while **Lobsang** and **VivaLostWages** slumber. **F** or with a little effort, I think we can make it to 100 pages this weekend. **G** adzooks! will not the celebration be merry then? ---

**H** appy I am, to be of service to the supreme and benevolent ruler of the universe and all her minions (of which I too am one). Surf’s up **Osiris** , _Switches to official capacity - For you this morning (if they still make it) is a big bowl of Post Alpha-Bits cereal and suggest you put that game down for a few minutes and go outside for bit of that wonderful Hawaiian weather. Actually, its Alpha-Bits for everyone on the a-thread this fine morning. And since she got her order in early, for **Twicks** we have some fresh hot blueberry pancakes teleported directly from Jordan’s in Bar Harbor, with a side of bacon and some Vermont grade A medium amber 100% pure maple syrup._ ---

**I** think this thread has brought me to one of life’s little truisms (if you’ll permit me to blather on). One can work for a lifetime and finally be appointed “Chef Imperial of all the Universe” only to come to the realization that all the universe really needs is some good hash browns, some nice blueberry pancakes, and some good hot coffee (and maybe some Dr. Pepper but not for me).
