So he does, KLM -- it's one of the things that first attracted me.
Bettielee, are you just going to down some sweet potato pie and blow out of here again like you did the other day? If it weren't for the trail of Jameson-soaked fairy dust, I wouldn't even have known you were here. |

I admire RT's nihilistic approach to avatars.
Wait...did I say admire? I prolly meant something else. *scatters euros on the bar* |

Hey, what's with the pseudo money being used to pay the tab? Someone grab the muppet and slap American money out of him.

Reg, you want this phaser back? I promise I didn't break it. Even tried to recharge it... Ignore the smoking electric plug in the corner...

*steps up on the bar, clears throat*
You know, it seems just four days ago that I wandered into this place as a hapless newbie with fewer than a hundred posts. In just that narrow window of time, I've acquired a vindictive, rabid ex-husband (though we've since patched things up), a brood of demon spawn, and a whole new look. I've been insulted, electrocuted, and groped, not to mention shmooed three times. But over the course of those events, I went from being a well-respected member of Query Hell to where I am today...running for president. And I couldn't have done it without you and the good folks in the obsessive reppers thread. Between you, you've given me over 400 rep points in one long weekend. Thank you, Cella, for pushing me over the edge into my campaign. *pauses for applause, ducks rotten tomato, snatches a bottle before jumping off the bar* |
