wow, my own thread… 😉

I would have gotten here sooner but my boys teamed up with me to do some evil deeds as supervillains.

It was a nice day, even with the new snow on the ground. All the important people remembered me… including you.

Now your turn is coming; it’s interesting to note that you apparently joined the Dope on the day after your birthday.

Okaaaay…What’s going on here?

Is **faithfool** not as foolish as the name implies? (Not that we ever bought into that notion anyway…)

Is **the Mad Hermit** not a hermit after all, but simply _mad_? Is there divinist sense in his madness? Is he “mad” about someone?

Happy Birthday to **the Mad Hermit**! Give us a clue! Are you two related?
