I'm *SO* afronted! The fact people are talking to me -- a non-CW'er makes me
happy. I'm so unworthy! *8)

Sounds good! Wacky is good too. I won't give away any of my initial story
ideas till they're at least coherant, but Wacky will hopefully have a part in
the story my wife and I tell. Life's too short to be totally serious.
Besides.. it's hard to look at a Knight that isn't properly proportional and
always smiling and take him seriously... :)

Of course - just be sure to toss a few my way when the time comes, even if you
have to force yourself! ;)
