Tracy, you are wonderfully sick! Imagine trying to explain to a 12YO about why there is a memorial website for an blow up pig. ---

I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. Like I just watched four ABC Afterschool Specials, two Lifetime Premiere Movies, and a Very Special Episode of _Blossom_ all in a row. ---

> [@](#): > > With any luck, this will be the start of a new traditition for SDMB mods. Wouldn’t that be cool? Although, I gotta say, I feel sorry for the next person who tries to pull this off. Now you’ll all be on your guard! Oooh, and **PoofDaddy** how come **Snormy** gets his name in bold and I don’t? Huh? Huh? You forget, he might have thought up the straws, but the Circus Peanuts were all _my_ idea. 😃 ---

- all this secrecy and hinting and giving out information on a need-to-know basis was getting on my nerves. Have a merry holiday, the two of you! You be good to her, Coldie - though she only spent a single night under my roof, I feel like I’ve known her forever. S. Norman ---

Getting on your nerves, **Snormy**? What about me? I was this close to being institutionalized! \ I was convinced that **PoofDaddy** had **Poofy** all along and was just trying to drive me nuts by not saying anything. Heh, I should have known he wouldn’t have been clever enough to think of something like that… :::runs like the wind::: ---

Far be it from me to complain after being thanked for doing something but you and I only share four billion e-mails a week, not to mention total hijacks of MPSIMS threads with our goofy ramblings and a completely unnatural affection for Twisty and yet—YOU GOT _ **MY** _ NAME WRONG?? I feel certain this is a strange early morning, lack-of-caffeine-induced error that will be rectified momentarily… ---

Sorry, **bethie** , I was too lazy to go in and uncapitalize everything. I got it right on the page, though! And, because I have insulted you in this way, I will grant you the honor of being the only other person allowed to call Cubby, Cubby. Sniff…I feel like we’re sisters now! ---

But once we get everything in place, it will be most satisfactchall, will it not? However, we should move this scheme off the boards…it would benefit noone if the truth slipped out. ---

I’d just like to point out here how proud I am to be a Minnesotan right now. Any number of my fellow poster’s responded to your initial cry for help **Tater**. The Minnesota motto- “When a person’s in need, we’re here to help. It doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, doesn’t matter if it’s immoral, we don’t care if we even know what it’s for- You need help? We’re here. You can count on us.” Damn we’re a good bunch of folks. You guys and gals make me proud to be a Minnesotan!! ---

Oh Lord, **PoofDaddy** , can’t you have the decency to be just a wee bit embarassed at getting a Poofy and Romantic Sippers in the mail. And remember what I said about Poofy! You hurt her, you die! She’s not your little toy…oh, wait in a manner of speaking she is, but remember what she represents! BTW, you also have to eat all the Circus Peanuts lest my fragile feelings get hurt. Considering the things you Dutch eat, it shouldn’t be that hard. And Chris, I -heart- Minnesotans! ---
