Today is a sad day for GirlbySea. CheifScott has departed for his 6 month tour. Mom, I just wanted you to know that together we will do what we can to make these next 6 months fly by. We seriously need a girl’s day out! I love you Mom! -Chris In original dialect, it’s really quite cryptical, there are many copies around but this my man is the original. ---

Keep the home fires burning While your heart is yearning Though your lad is far away, he dreams of home There’s a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining Turn the dark clouds inside out till your boy comes home! ---

Aww, jeez, thanks a lot, Totilhate. Now _I’ve_ got to go do something nice for _my_ mom. Damn… * * * “They were lovers, parted by betrayal. But once a year, they are allowed to cross the River of Stars.” -Doji Shizue, _Festival of the River of Stars_ ---

Oh, and duh. Best wishes for the Chief and GBS (though with a killer kid like you, I imagine she’ll do fine). * * * “They were lovers, parted by betrayal. But once a year, they are allowed to cross the River of Stars.” -Doji Shizue, _Festival of the River of Stars_ ---

Well, now it’s all becoming so clear… Chief’s been using Totilhate to bump off those smiley posters. But with a lack of apparent motive on Totilhate’s part… Thanks for the tip, Uke. ---
