It would seem that it falls to me to make the
first forum posting regarding the events of this
past weekend.

Sam, Leen, ahmoacah, Cynthia, famous,
flyingcats, Gahalyn, Issachar, James, Kaz,
Mensekemeser, Monkeyman, Rivikah, Selah,
Julia AM, TheScotsman & ohioterp, TOM,
Travholt, and Zarniwoop all rule. And Mrs.
Grishny and Jonathan rule too, of course.

Samface rules because he's funny and he
does a great Cynthia impersonation. I hope he
never unsuscibes me.

Leen rules because she already IS exactly
what she wants to be, a professional
horsewoman.

ahmoacah rules for her 733t skills as
MegaHal interpreter, and she doesn't scare
me at all.

Cynthia rules because she can sing the banjo
song without missing a beat.

famous rules because her least favorite word
or phrase is SQUEEE and it's all good. And
cool. And it's good to be king.

flyingcats rules because she's from California
and she did a pretty good job of keeping
Zarniwoop in check.

Gahalyn rules. She's the best houseguest
EVER and an EXCELLENT entertainer-of-
three-year-olds-in-the-backseat-during-an-
hour-long-drive-where-the-driver-gets-lost-
repeatedly. Also she knows how to pick out
good-smelling candles.

Issachar rules because he hasn't lost one iota
of his proficiency at manly chest-bumping.

James rules. He took the first Grishny-family-
in-their-matching-tee-shirts photo. And I think
he brought some of that Canadian candy.

Kaz rules because he's from Canada and he
did a pretty good job of keeping Cynthia in
check. :oP

Mensekemeser totally RULES the keyboard.
RULES RUELS RLUES. He's better than
Yanni, I swear.

Monkeyman rules. He looks just like his
picture and he's a great friend in need. He
totally called in TWO TRUCKS when Rivikah's
car wouldn't start.

Rivikah rules at making stuff. Her RU4 wire
tree thingy is going to look 733t no matter
where Mensekemeser chooses to display it.
And she's good at keeping her cool, even
when her automobile doesn't.

Selah rules for not making one single
comment involving the Wright Brothers and
North Carolina versus Ohio.

Julia AM rules for being the rulingest and
coolingest mom to ever come to a RinkUnion
that I've been too. She makes cool books too,
and is a superb group-photo-taker.

The Scotsman rules because he finally came
to a RinkUnion, and he even gave up his
birthday to do it.

ohioterp rules because she came to the RU
with TheScotsman, and her birthday cakes are
yummy. She also rules because she talked
Scots into giving a swing-dancing
demonstration with her even though her
chiropractor told her not to.

TOM rules because he was not TOM this time,
but Matthew, turning Matthew into TOM. Plus
he knows all about old ladies and chipped
ham.

Travholt was the most ruling Norwegian there,
even if he does like Superior Assistant
Bouillon Packaging Managers. I'm sure that
someday, he will be happily married.

My wife rules for coming with me again and
putting up with all these crazy people, and
Jonathan rules because he gave almost every
Rinky a hug even though he was scared of
them at first. He even hugged Zarniwoop.

And Zarniwoop rules too, but a little bit less
than all the others because he stole my super
soaker and got me all wet.
