I was trying to think of something witty to contribute when all of a sudden a vision of **Polycarp** in a dress popped into my head. I need to wash my brain out with soap now. **Idle Thoughts** , welcome to the best conversation/on-going party on the web! We’ve got some of the finest (and most twisted) people on the planet here. Fortunately, the two groups overlap! 😃 CJ ---

I have to admit something now. I’ve been lurking here the last week or so. Believe it or not, I’ve read many millions of topics in each forum…so I already feel like I know some of you already. For me, it was kind of like watching Big Brother or the like. :o Not that I’m admitting or denying I watch any sort of that stuff. That would be telling and would be therefore punishable by death resulting from knowing TMI. ---

I must apoligize for the unfair and unessasary attention that lno is getting. Here we all are, riding his name and totally mocking it around. I’m sorry. _I think it should be Imo, personally. 😉_ ---

**Jonathan** – you mean we can’t have the board _and_ "drugs or something? (marches off in a huff) I resign! Well, I’m back. That huff was uncomfortable in this humidity. Welcome, Chris. You will bond with us, grow to love us, be bitterly disappointed by us. Just like being a Cubs fan. ---
