C’mon **Euty** , we already worshipped you. You didn’t have to bring out the BIG guns. I mean, _ **Cecil** _ in a post-count party thread?! You may have brought the End of the World as We Know It. Wait a minute. Speaking as a cynic of long standing, TEOTWAWKI could only be a good thing, so… Rock on, **Euty**! \ ---

(“pant, pant, GASP!” zoogirl comes running up) Is HE here? Where! Where?! I missed him?!!! Oh, DAMN!!! Well Euty, ya know I’ve always thought you rocked, MIGHTILY, but I never thought you could actually summon the MASTER! (zoogirl exits backwards, bowing low to both Euty and the cyber-dust where Cecil has so lately trod) ---

I predict that this thread will go to at **least** four pages, since people will post willy-nilly to it in the hopes that they will get a response from the one for whom the thread was started. I’m only posting to it to be a party-pooping snotball by making remarks like that. 😃 (I stand by my theory, though.) ---

I’m just surprised that no one yet has pointed out the blatant grammatical error in the subject line. It should be “sticks his neck out”, not “stick.” Damn me! Damn me all to hell! ---

**Euty** , my dear, sweet man. You _so_ _ **ROCK** _!!! I humbly bow before you in awe and admiration. And I almost got to play scrabble with you once. 😉 Oh **Great, Wondrous, Elucidating, Contumelious Master of this Domain** , I humbly curtsey in your direction; vainly wishing for a brief glimpse of you.

Hey! Aren’t any of you sticking around to help clean up? This happens after every party…I bake, you guys leave cupcake wrappers everywhere, and nobody seems to understand the concept of a wastebasket. And I thought Cecil’s appearance was perfect…concise, witty, and provocative. AND he tossed his empty punch cup in the trash rather than leave it on the piano like Fenris. ---
