Uh, is this thing on? Ahem… (aside) Cue the organ…

(“Funeral March” starts)

No! No! No! Wrong song! Stop it! Stop…

(Music stops, then “Wedding March” plays)

Much better. Uh, ah, where did I put my speech? I could swear I had it a second ago… Oh, the hell with it. Satan and Drain, I wish you all the happiness that life can bring, even though I am understandably disappointed that the lovely and talented Ms. Bead is off the market for good. May the sun always shine, the birds always sing, the fires of Hell always glow with their eerie phosphorescence as the screams of the damned echo in the cavernous chambers of the underworld as the Demons and Furies and Harpies tear out their eyeballs and prod flaming rods of iron into their bodily orifices as you rise above it all, cackling and laughing, delighting in the exquisite torment visited unto all… the… Uh, where was I? Oh yeah. Good luck, guys.

I’m done. You can stop playing on your organ now.

(Titters ripple through crowd)

Oh, shut up.

Awesome. Something neat always happens when i am gone for a while. This is great news to hear and based on my limited exposure to both of you, it couldn’t happen to two finer posters.

Best wishes to two nice, funny, interesting people. Haven’t read the whole thread yet, so maybe this has been decided – is Drain gonna change her username to Mrs. Satan?
