I'd love to take you up on that one Vain but I've discovered I don't have any funny pictures of you!
P.S. I'll bid $60,000 for the Krill.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.John Stuart Mill

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Whew... ok... 100000 (I can write this off on my taxes, right?)

Yeah, I think I did say 5pm Eastern on the 29th. You all seem to be having so much fun, though. Heh. Anyway, I think that makes the winner Lord Mhoram with a bid of 63,000 WGD. Congrats, LM! Thanks everyone for joining in the auction, and I'm sorry if you didn't win. But maybe I'll hold another auction sometime.-jay
