Are you sure all those words on the letter were in that order before it went out? Did you fill in that data field, but now it's empty? How can it be empty? It's the gremlins. It's times like these I get very used to saying, "I'm sorry; I'll fix it."

Well then, don't order it. Just take it. BWAH HA HA!!!

Oh wait, that wasn't too evil. Uh...I know! Take a pizza, then drop it from a great height onto someone's head. All from the other side of the world....

Extralarge pizza with pepperonisalami, thuna, extra cheese, red onions, pineapple, ham, double garlic... mmh. That would be a dream :p

BTW, do I have to tip your Gremlins once they delivered the pizza? (I don't wanna give'em any - it is after midnight over here...)
