and some of you probably won’t like it. But I have lain awake at night for the last week thinking about it. Finally around 3:00 AM this morning I made the decision. So here it is folks, and please keep in mind that it is nothing personal but… I have decided to spend more time on the board. I don’t feel as though I have been posting near enough. The last two weeks I have actually let my job get in the way of my posting! Ha! How stupid can you get! So be looking for more thought provoking posts in great debates and zany inaneness in mipsims, lots of virtrol er…vitrel or something in the pit and more over bearing opinions in IMHO. All coming your way via yours truly. I will probably be making all the most popular and handsome lists too so just learn to live with that… ok? Yours truly aha ---

Hot damn! I knew if I kept calling all the local Oldies stations and requesting your songs you would get financially secure enough to spend more time here! Of course, “western Union” sticks in my head worse than “It’s a small world after all” but, such is the price to pay. Osip ---

Wait just a minute here…Osip said something about requesting your songs…and I have been hearing allusions to the fact that we have a gen-yoo-ine rock star on these boards…but I couldn’t figure out who it was…could our rock star be aha???

Put an extra 6 cents in aha’s pocket for every play. Beware the song will stick in your head.

Excellent resolution, aha. You _do_ realize that it will entail certain sacrifices on your part to post like crazy here, don’t you? You must maintain a heightened level of inspiration which large quantities of chea…uh, cold champagne can best provide. Now we don’t want to hear of you wasting time on your wife, dog or offspring, either. And I expect you to vote for me (early and often) on any SD lists in exchange for this shameless promotion.
