Of the 19 other members of the Top 20, I have had the pleasure of drinking, eating, or flying with 17 of them. ^^

Can we sue to block the new box and get the old back? What about a class action?

Still, there was a bit of brute force to it, certainly. Thanks for the effort.

I had exactly 3,000 posts in 'Box 1.0.

This is my popping the cherry post in 3.0. I hope to at least double my post count in 3.0.

I wonder how many people picked NED over BRA in the 'Box bracket. I know I picked BRA.

I'm not entirely sure that the Welsh have a term for a period of time as long as 365 (was it?) days. However, my computer tells me it's 2010, my Bible tells me it's 5770 and the Thai 'cigarette' I may or may not have just smoked suggests it's 2553.

Correct, I am not sure that I want Chase involved in my "social" life online.

Cigarettes are up to $12 a pack in NYC. Even though they are expensive in the UK, Henry III would need to get a night job just to support his habit if he lived around here.

Now, you're not one of those for whom a Black Thai social event means a gathering that will be so dreadful that you have to break out the really good stuff to be able to make it through?
