**Ilsa\_Lund** – A man with entirely too much time on his hands (and all over his face). **SanguineSpider** – If she were any sweeter she’d be covered in flies. **MrBoy1967** – In the top 2,000 boys in the world. ---

**Red Matrix** : ::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::: (Eh, I tried.) The nice thing about **Red Matrix** and **SanguineSpider** is that they are color coordinated. **Ilsa\_Lund** - Because a picture is worth a thousand words. ---

Ahem, not wanting to nit pick here but as anyone knows a spider has 8 legs. Now the above are veritable masterpieces of art, make no mistake about it. I can only assume that the first lost a leg and the second lost 2, perhaps they were fighting! I’ll get my coat ---

**Sanguine Spider** - The melody of my aria, the theme of my novel, the lovliest color in my fresco…what a babe. **Hal Briston** - Since my name _is_ Dave, I won’t ask you to close the pod bay doors. **Goshtin** - I _won’t_ hit you. And I mean that in the best possible way. **cityboy916** - Entomologist to the gods. **Horseflesh** - His scintillating wit, if expressed numerically, would approximate the life expectancy of the sun – in seconds. ---

**Kizarvexius** - A million philosophers could write for a million years and still describe a mere 3/8ths of your wisdom. **Goshtin** - our lives are enriched by your presence here. And as an entomologist might say, **SanguineSpider** : Eukaryota: Metazoa: Protostomata: Arthropoda: Chelicerata: Arachnida: Araneae: Sanguinidae: _Sanguinus elegans_ ---
