That's a great way to wrap up the year! :-D

Being nominated, I felt like this poster Eli...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Eli', 'I') called my mom the day I hit Fusion and told her what I had done. She told me that she had never been so proud of me, she cried...she actually cried. She even came down to the basement to take a look and everything, later she made me a nice cheese sandwich.

I like cheese.

When I was nominated I called my wife over and showed her, she was so proud. For a minute she stopped typing on her emigration forum, she actually stopped typing! Then I brought her a cup of coffee and a bowl of tomato soup with a slice of toasted bread and cheese on top how she likes it. Cheese is good... :lol:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('emersonbiggins', 'I') appreciate all the votes, and the checks are in the mail.
Seriously though, the posts by all of you are priceless to me. The incite and wisdom on this site is just priceless. Thank you all.

The rioting pics remind me of the old saw: "the people are revolting!" (said with Groucho Marx voice) "yes, they certainly are."
