The first thing you should know is that I am SOOOOOO important that I have an entire cadre of board members who, although they claim I am evil and that they have me "on ignore", have devoted an entire thread dedicated to discussing me. Now, call me crazy, but it seems to me that if people are spending so much time discussing someone else and looking at that someone's profile, then they're not really ignoring that someone, now are they? In any event, I'm flattered by this high-school like activity and homage to my on-line persona and post inventory. You may view this absolutely fascinating and informative thread here:
In the meantime, you may want to avoid the rush and start 'ignoring' me right away. Thanks for your support (:
Now - to get this party started - I know you all know this tune. Sing along with me!!
<cue music>
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
'Guess I'll go eat woo0000ooorrms.
First you bite the heads off,
Then you suck the juice out,
Then you throw the skins awaaaAAAaaaY
</end music>
