Jeez! And um, it wasn’t a ‘bribe’ it was a ‘token of my appreciation’ . ---

cobravert - to simplify things we’ll start a thread called “post here for five dollars from Cobravert” - then everyone that restrained themselves can post there instead of here for you so you know who you need to pay… 😉 ---

I forgot about the stamps… Say fierra 'ol buddy 'ol pal. Since you don’t need those mob guys anymore, could you send them my way? I think I have a ‘small’ job for them.

Well it’s finally happened. We’ve entered that surreal phase of threadkilling. If I weren’t on my first cup of coffee I’d make a nice list of all the weird stuff leading to it, but…well I’m on my first cup of coffee. I’m damnedlucky I made it to work this morning. _yawn_ And so the bad news is that it’s only going to get weirder–I think fierra slipping into Yoda-speak is proof enough, don’t you? The good news is that we hit this phase well before page 10 in the first threadkillers. So we’ve built up some stamina. And by the looks of all the men around here…\…stamina doesn’t seem to be a problem in any other area. So, onward Threadkillers. And have a knish. You need your breakfast.
