reesetee You're irreplaceable, jennarenn. Mar 31, 2009
jennarenn Sorry, I've been moonlighting as an elementary teacher. Didn't you hire someone in my absence? Mar 30, 2009
chained_bear Ah yes, I remembered after posting (but while I was away from my computer) your lovely icon from many moons ago. Apologies, St. Bilby.
P.S. what page was that on, anyhow? *snaps fingers* Yoo-hoo, Wordiehistorian!
P.P.S. Oh yeah. Bilby. Mar 28, 2009
bilby I'm a saint, I'll have you know.

*goes back to taking umbrage at umbrage.org* Mar 27, 2009
