Forgive me Swim, for I have sinned. I have not posted in some time, for I have been off around the US learning my trade and fighting the imaginary OPFOR. I have been on a crusade to learn the secrets of Rapid Runway Repair, and the bane that is AM-2 Matting. Forgive me for I have sinned. Please cannonize me, that I may find my true way back to the boards. Thank you. Yeah, it’s my first post in months, but I’ve been busy. I needed to make a breakthrough somehow . . . Trip ---

Oh Wonderful Swiddles, I herefore beseech thee, I your most humble servant and biggest fan, beg that you bestow on me a Patron Saintiness. Yea, for I have not been duly designated with a patron-ness, and my life is but an empty void, devoid of patron-osity, and meaning. ---

Heck, if the Catholic church won’t take me off their roll, I might as well be a saint - lay that halo on me, Swiddles. ---

Uh yeah me too. Cannonize I mean. If you need credentials I can fit my whole fist in my mouth and can recit the preamble to the constitution backwards. That’s all. –provide for the common flup ---
