Just want to prove the subscription naysayers wrong and promote activity. Of course that means I will be providing a 25% increase in mindless idiocy so not all the news is good.

Ditto that.

Aren’t you guys sorry you went to subscriptions now! 🙂

Every time I see “Charter Member” I can’t help imagine I’m standing in front of a classroom one evening, feeling out of place in a room with crayoned drawings on the walls and little desks I can barely fit in. I tap the mike and it whines. I stammer “Uh, I’m, uh … I’m a Corner Case, and, uh, I’m, uh … I’m, uh, a Trekker.” The sparse audience looks up and says, “HI CORNER CASE”.

Wasn’t there an old Groucho line to the effect of “I wouldn’t want to join any club that would have me as a member.”? Well, I’m a member anyhow!

I didn’t get a toaster, either, but I did get a set of radial tires, came shootin’ out through the monitor, _fooooom_, like that…Kewl.

I’ll be in, once I figure out how to get a Paypal account.

Spending 60 seconds lurking here (estimated): $0.00006  
Posting once, based on last years numbers: $0.009  
Choosing to pony up the dough: priceless.

I had to seriously think about it, because I am temporarily in a bad financial situation. But I decided that the year I have spent here was more than worth the price of re-admission. Come what may after the change, I got my money’s worth.

Come Thursday, my mother will have sufficient funds in her Paypal account to make a $5 subtraction make little enough difference that it won’t bother her. Now all I have to do is endure seeing “Guest” under my name and not have any post count.

Phew! Got my internet access back just in time!!!

Now would someone contact me off-board and bring me up to speed on what I’ve missed in the last several months? Please?
