now, i just
know that no one responded to my brilliantly witty game show parody with heaps of praise solely because dougaiton's nice reply was a tough act to follow. and truth be told, my response will probably be lacking, too.

In short, the Pale Hose have crossed the boundary into reallifedom. That's pretty amazing going, Craig.

i'm not surprised that i've become as attached to the pale hose as i have. what does surprise me, and will continue to do so, are replies like this. the ones from folks that don't comment much never fail to make me shake my head in amazement and smile. why has this team drawn such a loyal following? is it the suckage of the team, or the fact that i don't particularly mind that the team is bad?
i'm not sure. what i do know is that though i lack the storytelling abilities of big six, or tib, tiger fan, or the overly modest seth70, i do enjoy writing this, probably just as much as they do. i never will know for sure how good my writing is -- such a subjective question, after all -- but i know i've become mostly content with where this thread fits in the paradigm of this board and my life in general.
seeing people say such kind things only reinforces that. thanks for the reply, doug.
