And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

ita, like Coke, is it.

After I saw the "we are back" post, it took me a good two minutes to figure out why I wasn't seeing the site back up--I was reloading the "site down" page.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

Thanks for fixing the board, ita!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Thank you, ita.

Burrell, the only "we" I was referring to in my comment you thought might be condescending referred to the five or six people who were actively discussing practical voting issues at the time you joined the discussion. That's all. Sorry if there was any miscommunication.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks ita!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, bless you ita. There are not words enough to do you justice. Had I time and technical know-how, I'd be all over the notion of setting up an official Minions of ita website to halloo your name to the reverberate hills and make the babbling gossip of the air cry "ita!"

In short, you are the dog's bollocks. Go you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

you are the dog's bollocks

I am going to presume that's a really big positive. Which makes sense, certainly from the dog's point of view.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Heh. Yes, it is a positive - sorry, my bad. It's a slightly antiquated phrase popular in UK parlance in the late 90s, not quite so much in 2003. See also "The mutt's nuts" for whacky canine testicular complimentary goodness. (Or do I mean complementary goodness? Alas, me and my erratic spelling...)

Aww, Fay, you're the mutt's nuts.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm not saying this to be critical because I know a lot of research was done to pick a bank, but why are the bank fees so high? What are they for?
