Not trying to be a pest, **Weirddave** , but when do you think you’ll adjudicate? Just want to keep myself from procrastinating too much at work today. If I don’t have a target time I just tend to check here and in e-mail every 5 minutes. ---

It’s all done. 9 Am is the deadline, and that translates to : “When I get up and get around to it”. JC made it. ---

How do we get in on this food and alcohol thing? I’ll let you have whatever countries you’d like. ---

Wow, that’s a pretty cool link. It’s technically not impossible but at least highly doubtful that I would be able to attend. ---

Oh, you’re just bitter Nate. I was trying to get word from you the last couple days and heard nothing, so you can’t be shocked I did what I did. Frankly I can’t see that we’re any further from being able to contain him this way since Germany, Russia and I wouldn’t have played along anyways. However, I just took the monkey out of the wrench. You should be happy that it went quickly and painlessly so we won’t be further distracted. ---

I dunno, Nate. I’ve been told you’re really quite sweet. ---

Obviously you haven’t been speaking to Lady Chance. She says I’m salty. But I think you’re cute, too, big boy. ---

Putting aside the question of whether **Jonathan Chance** is sweet, sour, bitter, or salty, I can testify that his Halloween party is a happenin’ event. Not that it’ll contribute in any meaningful way to that, but the missus and I will be there. ---

Moose Munch from Harry and David? I’ve got a two pound tin, right here. It’s how I keep my girlish figure. ---

Last Halloween, young bouv took the bus down from upstate New York to attend the Dope-A-Ween. 17 hours on several greyhound buses so he could get dropped off in Leesburg, VA hoping I’d come get him. That’s dedication. Now. Are you in or no? ---

Frankly I can’t see that we’re any further from being able to contain him this way since Germany, Russia and I wouldn’t have played along anyways. I think it’s quite clear from the way I set myself up to get played like a fiddle by you that I’d have ‘played along,’ **Omni**. I made that choice, and you made yours. I don’t blame you, though. I’d have bought the farm sooner or later, and I handed it to you this year, so why not? I just hope Abe and Nate make you pay.
