The day the beards cried.

Rest in peace whiskerino. You were a good friend.

In all seriousness, I can't say enough good things about this site, and the people here. I love all you guys, and I love the creativity you all put into this. It really made this very special.

I thank you all for welcoming this new blood into the fold.

Oh, and stay in touch:

mOtke says:: "There are a few things I want to say here. Ok. First of all, I feel like I barely knew you. We dated for like four months, and then you left me. I feel all alone. Why did you get into that car? Why? I mean, you were so nice, and every day we talked, and I really liked you."

*silence* *maybe a tumbleweed or ghost*

"Well, I'm going to go now. You just stay here. I love you."

He walked away, knowing he could never get those 4 months of his life back, knowing he would never want to do so.
