Hiya! I’ve been away from the boards since the begining of of May, and I was wondering if there were any important changes since then that I should know about (Aside from the Cafe Society deal).

They’ve taken over. It’s all very hush-hush. Keep your head low - Cafe Society is a front for the New Board Order. If you see men in dark sunglasses, don’t look at the little flashy light thing.

Oh, and **Chronos** switched usernames with **Ukelele Ike** , not to mention post counts, registration dates, and profiles (email addresses too). Don’t ask why, it’s all very hush-hush.

Well, I’ve lost some more hair, I occasionally suspect I have an ulcer, my baseball team is horrible, and it appears my football teams aren’t too good either. On the brighter side my father survived his heart surgery, and my hemmerhoids aren’t acting up just now.

Thanks for asking.
