That top one is me, kids…

Only registered Cat23 members can vote. That leaves out Abe. Which is for the best, right?

Well I tried to vote for Jonathan Chance, but he wasn’t listed, so I went with York. He’s done some incredible things this year.

Actually I’m not a registered member of Cat23, or Catch 22 for that matter, so I’m disenfranchised.

I suspect Randy nominated me. Heck, I returned the favor.

But bring it on, children! I want this one!

You forget, my friend, that I am in Chicago. I’ve already voted in the name of 6 dead Cat23’ers.

None of them voted for you. They were dicks.

Well, I do remember sending in some provisional orders earlier this week.

I don’t recall quite what they _were_…

But I’m sure they were fine.

I still need one set for sure.

Just wanted to share a new page I created as a portal to all these games I’m hosting sites for. Its really simple, but might be nice for the kibitzers.

Nice, **Omni** , very nice… One minor nitpick: you spelled “MPSIMS” wrong on that main page. While I’m picking nits, the link to email me on the 1099 page has some extra stuff in it and doesn’t work.

Other than those minor concerns, though. that’s excellent work and will come in very handy. Thank you.

Soooooo…  
Well, drat. Screw you guys. I’m going home.
