What, again?

Lucky for you it's Christmas... well, almost.

Just gave my share. Not min, not max, but the golden middle. All that snow out there (first since several years) made me sentimental...

h.sie · 12-20-09, 10:58 AM

Done.
Thank you Neal.

Wow, thanks for the wonderful testimonial, Tom.

This is truly a great site and most worthy of our support.

Thanks, Magic, love the humor

Now for an awesomely bad joke of my own. Last week my buddy Jesse, my ex, and I attended my daughter's 8th grade band concert. We were sitting in the auditorium with the parents and friends and looking over the program with the selections of music.

Tonight's Selections
Joyful and Triumphant
African Noel
Who Let the Elves Out?
Deck the Halls with Chips and Salsa
Latin Bell Carol
The Nuts and Crackers Sweet!
The Name's Claus...Santa Claus

.

As you can see, a couple of songs were retitled with punny play on words. Jesse, who is a Mexican-American, leaned over and proudly whispered, "Hey, see the African Noel? I'm glad to see they did not forget us Mexicans, see the Latin Carol, and the Salsa?"

I pointed to the word "Crackers" in the The Nuts and Crackers Sweet and replied, "Yeah, there I am, too!"

When the band conductor was introducing the final piece of music, The Name's Claus...Santa Claus, she said, "This next piece is a combination of James Bond themes and Christmas favorites.
Without a pause I commented, "Double - ho - ho - seven"

And now you know why Jerry Seinfeld won't talk to me anymore!

First I'll confess to not being an avid gamer.

I got interested in, and purchased SHII. Not knowing anything about PC games and even less about computers, I needed some expertise on how to install this strange animal.
Google + SHII = subsim.com

I never did install SHII because, thanks to the good folks at Subsim, I learned about SHIII, which I purchased, installed, and patched under the unwitting supervision of Subsim's expert's. Thanks to all of you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

There-after, I spent a-lot of time shadowing the SHIII forum (From Page 1!), and getting to know the members. Eventualy I bacame a IXaholic, and decided it was time to join.

Since then I've discovered what a great place General Topics was to hang out. This, and the people who hang out there, has become my true addiction to subsim.

There is no cooler collection of international people in the whole world.
Thank you everybody. And thank you Neal for making it all happen.
The hard part is already done. Now all we have to do is give our support, and keep it going.

Schroeder · 12-20-09, 02:54 PM

Done (at least I hope so...that was my first pay pal transaction).

Dowly · 12-20-09, 03:33 PM

First! In your face suckers!

(Sorry Neal, I dont do speeches

)

Tho, there's one thing I'd want to remind especially our euro-users; if you donate $20, that's only like 10€ due to the weak dollar/strong euro, so donate! And if I can spare a few $'s here and there even with my extremely tight budget, then you can too. (or I can just come down the chimney with Santa and kick you in the nuggets while you're asleep and take your money.

)

Now, will you excuse me, I need to go prepare my Wirbelwind, Santa's here in 4 days!
