OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

A Chicagoan
« on: November 07, 2012, 04:45:24 PM »
My brother died in September. He was a great brother and even better friend.   He was my reason for urging everyone to get to know your prostate.  His California absentee ballot arrived shortly after his death.    Yesterday I asked my sister-in-law if Art voted.  Since he was born in Chicago I felt that it was his birthright.  She said that she was tempted, but chickened out.  If you read the attached obituary, check out the last line.

If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

Quote from: Stew's Brother's ObituaryArthur's family thanks everyone who gave their love and support during the last year, and requests that those wishing to honor his memory make donations in Arthur's name to prostate cancer research, Audubon Society or the charity of their choice , as long as it doesn't include the RNC.

My condolences, Stew.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.
