Hmm, where have I seen that before?

aruna, copying a link that way doesn't produce a working link. The URL doesn't lurk behind the characters. You have to go to the post to be linked to and start over with its URL.

I have done my civic duty. :)

[MacAllister]

Just finished. I won't be able to write anything readable for a week.

[JennaGlatzer]

No kidding. Maybe we should have finished this anthology before voting, Mac...

[MacAllister]

BWAHAHhAHAHA!!!! Were you sending me another piece to work on, tonight?

(Rays, for instance...I could do Ray's...)

I feel deep within the sinewy depths of my core that it is time to lay my weary orbulescent head against the gentle, soothing graces of a freshly-plumped pillow encompassed-- nay, embraced-- by crisp pin-striped linen speckled in moonlight that probably cost too much at Neiman-Marcus (the linens, that is, not the moonlight, which one, regrettably, cannot buy at even the finest department stores). Therefore, I shall bid a bittersweet adieu to my brightly-lit (despite the well-intentioned, if slightly undersized glare screen that forces me to lean way over to each side to read the far perimeters of text, possibly causing undue strain of the neck) monitor and leave the files, like wrapped presents on Christmas Eve, till the forgiving mid-day sun of the morrow, whereupon I shall seek out your fine wordsmithery craftsmanship once more.

I'll give you an (dis)honorable mention just for that.

Nah, the thread needed bumping. I knew I could count on you.
