    young gun-
    Your request will be taken under advisement.

    Chief Silliness Advisor-
    Congratulations on your New Job. Perhaps you will have contributions to Silliness, if not to society.

    srah, CofSatBDSaLSP-
    Can interest you in putting together a post of silliness, or a post of Silly Links? I’d love to have some co-authors for the Offcial Ministry Blog. Or perhaps, if that is More Responsibility than you had Envisioned, can I request that you put a Banana on Your Head and Quack like a Duck?
