Gee, it´s been 10 months already since my subscription ended? Now I know why they call it the Dope, this thing is adictive, I wanted to leave it, honest; but I… Can´t… Do it. I´ve learned to empathise with Gollum already. So, where´s my pie?, how about the goat, is it just for newcomers now? do you still keep a welcome wagon on the ready here? I´ve been told about a squid too, what´s up with that? _Curls up on a corner and has schizophrenic episode_ My preciousssss dope… 😃 ---

Since you’re so late in renewing, you have to change all the broken light bulbs in the place. Let me ask you, do have any potatoes? ---

Potatos are for wimps, I use long necked insulated pliers; electric shocks don´t bother me much; I´m funny that way. 😉 So where do I start? ---

It’s _never_ too late to resubscribe. Esp with a cool name like **Ale**. Speaking of which, I had a kick-ass ale at a local micro-brewery (“Two Rows” in Dallas, if you wanna know). They called it, simply, “Winter Ale”, but may well have been the best damn ale I’ve ever had. Mmmmmmm. ---
