(As of 7/7/07, I met Lynda Carter. Since that leaves Marlene Dietrich (and she's dead) I'm adding Neil Gaiman to my list of "People I'd Like to Meet").
I find it agreeable to be your friend.

Front row: Admiral Stacy Mulder Chief of Membership Services Starfleet Command Q1 and Admiral Roy Jackson Deputy Fleet Commander Starfleet Command Q1.
You are referenced in the debut season 2 episode of Marcus' Corner (from Mega64). It's hilarious and I hope to really see you and Mega64 do something again.
Wow your articles on maxim are pretty hilarious. I read the one about the nerdy kid dumping his gf cuz she wanted to get rough in the bedroom and pretty much died laughing. Oh and that picture of you with the guitar hero guitar is pretty amazing lol. Where did you get that guitar hero shirt?
