Dec 2012

Selfishly, I'd like to join the chorus of those fervently urging you to reconsider, or even guilt-tripping you about it.

Every Sunday, though, after I finish looking at the LOLcats thread, it occurs to me (albeit briefly) how much time and effort it must take for you to assemble each week's compilation. You've been rendering this invaluable service to the rest of us for a long time, as a volunteer. (Never mind the bacon and sausage -- Skinner should put you on the goddamn payroll, but that probably ain't in the budget.)

Like so many others, I'll be delighted if you decide to stay (or to return after a refreshing hiatus). If you don't, though, we can't complain. Many thanks for the innumerable images you've provided for our viewing pleasure.

And I hope you can enjoy your Sundays without worrying too much about all the people weeping inconsolably into their keyboards....
