The same could be said for many others, who posted once on this Thread and then found themselves in possession of the AFL Bauble.

The US Chess Federation has a long weekend event in Las Vegas - perhaps that's it?

All in the fullness of time.
"A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government. It can last only until its citizens discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority (who vote) will vote for those candidates promising the greatest benefits from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal policies, always followed by a dictatorship."

Every day I arise I say to my batwoman what a glorious day to be in the Legion and think I should be paying the Legion for the honor of serving. Accordingly, the following will be published at morning orders: Originally Posted by blue-sophist

It is a mercenary world ... In both contexts!
BTW, about your promotion, so richly deserved ... do you have a view yet?
