The ransom is beer! Lots and lots and lots of good continental beer! Especially raspberry beer!

Hiya **Angua** Do you mean that Belgian stuff? Yum. Have you ever tasted Belgian Trappist beer?

I’m not Belgian. I can send some Heineken or Grolsch…  
Will a crate do?

3 times in a row! I’m so popular. 😃

But I went back to bed, so I’m late. Sorry guys.

Now Maggie is knocking everything off my desk, then standing at the edge of it to watch it hit the floor. Fun.

I just figured out what the little brat had. She was carrying my bracelet around in her mouth. Naughty kitty.

Now, I will predict **MaggietheCat**

**Happy Lendervedder** : At 5:48 AM, I was in bed soundly sleeping. (and having weird dreams about my friends and breastfeeding babies… but let’s leave that alone for now)

**NoClueBoy** : Happy belated! 😉

Now, for my prediction: **ETF**.

You got it, **F\_X**!

And now, snurfling in from stage left: **Astro Hog**.

Or maybe **NCB** , checking the post count as it nears the magic 2500 number.

So let me hit “Reply” and _ **bump!** _

**ETF** again, checking in to discover only five more posts (once this is submitted) still to go before the 2.5K mark.

Will the next poster be **Zeldar**? Or one of our regulars? Do I hear **Angua** padding down the hall toward us?

Hey **gum**! You still reading this thread? This is what **Spoz** had to say on selling the spozdog recipe just now on ICQ:

> [@](#):

> "no, I wouldn’t sell the spozdog recipe for millions of dollars at the moment… I mean, if there WAS a legitimate bid for a few happy million… I may be willing to consider it… as long as it keeps the name “spoz dog”. I ain’t losing naming rights… (weird… why you missing messages? wot’s wrong with ya?)

>

I have NO idea why I’m missing messages on ICQ, but I’m glad I got an answer for you before he went off to “sleepy bo bo land”. 😉  
Next poster up to inch us closer to the #2500 mark… **ETF** again? (hey, I was lucky once… I could be again!)
