One of the best things about comming online has been getting to know you karl. You have a unique calm and clearsighted writing style. You didn't even freak that night when your old kingdom hall/ computer chair started levitating you up toward the ceiling lol.
You've been through a lot for a young man and it's given you wisdom beyond your years . The upside of all the trauma you've endured is that the good times taste all the sweeter and you don't sweat the small stuff.
I salute your honesty and bravery young man
I generally cringe at the literal use of the term 'uncle' but in your case I'll make an exception ... I unclebruce, hereby officially undub thee with this thy holy golden crunchie bar nephew karl
pst: karl, the invoice is in the mail ..and you wouldn't have any spare grog or ciggies for your dear old unc would ya?...nyaaahaaarrr
