My lords and ladies,

	This has been a vairy amusing thread, no matter who we be--Drunken 
Badgers OR members of Argent company .... or from wherever else we may come as 
supporters of this Tavern List.  I azure you, I have laughed so hard I've 
hardly been able to pile on my workload at the office, but have gotten fretty 
watching my mailbox for further installments.  I even had to take a cough 
lozenge to make it through the morning ....  it's all beginning to bordure on 
the sublime, truly it is!  And if I can remain Vert-ical through the long 
afternoon, after being up too many hours testing software in the sable 
darkness of night, I may even take a moment to try and find a punnish way to 
make use of some of the harder heraldic terms (anyone want to try and stretch 
for purpure, tenne, saltire and nombril???), but as tired as I am, I cannot be 
sanguine of the outcome--since I have quarterly reports due by close of 
business today .... which will require dexter-ous feats to complete ....

<duck, run, giggle ....>
