I know we haven't particlaury interacted, but I still can't get over how you beat my U-21 team in the 19th DBC Round of 16. I was so confident after beating Starblaydia, Civil Citizenry & Wadomia.

((And I always thought it was Tae-shAn, not Tae-sharn :P)

I didnt hear an r. More like Tay-Shon. and i would know if i heard an r, D&S adds them to everything. But she is from the Pacific Northwest so I will not hold it against her. Now the finger she is gladly sharing with me is another thing entirely... :kiss: Luv ya

And Tae, keep up the good work with school. You give this place - and us as a result - too much credit for the turnaround in your class scores. You deserve that credit. Keep up the good work.

Damn I feel old. Our youngest son is Tae's age...

Congratulations on your 5th, Taeshan!

I didn't hear an r, either. Sounds pretty normal with the addition of your accent.
