Wow, mentioned in a **Rue** thread even though I was gone all week. And on my birthday, no less. You like me! You really, really like me!\*

I accept this award in the name of all **Rue** wannabes everywhere. And a special “thanks” to **Exgineer** , my own sweet darlin’.

T’ain’t dead 'til I say it’s dead.

Get the shovel, Mabel, it’s dead.

I’m not fat I’m pregnant! And just for that I ain’t singing 🙂

I’m sure there’s some life left in this poor thread… We only have to keep it ticking until tomorrow 🙂

And I think Bumbazine wins an award for the worst rhyme with Nantucket ever!

Competition for the worst rhyme with Nantucket-and it can be sung.

There once was a man from Nantucket,  
who kept his pet oyster in a bucket.  
'Til his daughter, named Nan  
took the bucket and ran.  
And as for the oyster, Nan shuck it!  
Thread’s dead, Ted, go to bed.
