Again with these random ‘words’. My dear Ad Noctum, what you have is merely _a_ word, Arden and I have _the_ **Last Word**.

Alas, I will leave the word to you, for now. I must shower the jello off and venture into the real, non-jello-pit world.

But don’t think I won’t be back for it.

Don’t think that the girlish giggling means that I don’t know where my half of the Last Word is at all time, Dyno 😃 It was a nice attempt, but it’ll take more than an ear nibble to get it from me.
