 * LOL! I look kinda like my father (User:Ken Gallager), who I think you've met before. Unfortunately I couldn't convince him to come to the Wiknic with me though. That's too bad to hear that you can't make it either... Cooljeanius (talk) (contribs) 19:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

A kitten for you too!
The choice of pictures keeps changing! This is too exciting!
