Now, when I even bother to show up, it's nothing but racial slurs and comments like, "if you weren't so stupid, you'd know how dumb you really are!"

WHOOOO!<BR/><BR/>(The alternate post idea I had was something about my mantra for the year being "Be the sucker fish, be the sucker fish," but it seemed a little obtuse without a bit more context. Ah well.)<BR/><BR/>But, in all seriousness, that all sounds great, man. Congrats.
