What can I say about bortQ that I haven’t already said?  Okay, he needs a haircut.  I’ve never said that before.  He likes Ham.  Lots and lots of ham.  He’s also a damned fine artist, and he makes me wet myself often.  This week’s installment is just another example of the man’s ability to look deep into my soul.  Scary stuff.

Well, the long march is over, and overall it was a stupendous success.  I raised (as of this post, still collecting) $2,474.36 to help fight Multiple Sclerosis this year, and I’d be a fool to think I did alone.  YOU are the ones responsible.  YOU are the ones who kept my feet moving.  YOU are the ones who blasted the shots and brought down MS’s shields.  YOU inspire me to continue to do the Empire’s work, and for that, I thank you.

Among those I’d like to take some time out and thank are the podcasts and groups that stepped up to the gunner’s station and really put the ammo into my hands by making everyone aware of this in the first place.

All of the individuals who donated-
You all dug into your pockets and gave what you could, and every red cent made a huge difference.  I thank you for helping me help those with MS, and I hope that I can call on you again next year, as I’m afraid that this battle will be hard fought for many years to come.

Star Wars Galaxies Kettemoor Roleplayers -
This was the second year you all took up the post with me, and it only adds to the reasons I call you all my friends and holonet family, as dysfuctional as we all.  Thank you from the bottom of my black, shriveled heart. Even you stinkin’ Rebels.

The Podcast Community-
This was the first year I really put the call out to the many “voices” of the metaverse and groups such as FarPoint Media and TheForce.net really spread the word, as did the indie podcasts out there such as the lovely and talented “Lipstick Aliens”.  The RP community fired the first shot, and the Podcasters fired the next salvo that brought me up to this amazing level.

I will be recording an audio “Thank you” to you and all your listeners for supporting this cause of mine, and I hope that in the future I can return the favor, and depend on you next year as well.

To you all,
Thank you.  Thank you. Thank YOU.

If you missed out on your chance to make a donation to this most noble cause, don’t fret.  I’m still accepting donations until May 14 via THIS LINK.

There I am, on patrol listening to this week’s “ForceCast” and this little gem was mentioned on the show.  Apparently, someone took it upon themselves to make a video based on my MS Walk promo that’s being played all over on tons of various podcasts out there.

Funny stuff, this…..although they forgot the dent….and the dirt…hmmm…

regardless, I’m flattered that someone would take the time to do this.

Today this planet full of simpletons has lost a great and “brilliant” guy named Joe “Mason Rocket” Murphy.  I’ve known this was coming and have been affected internaly by this entire series of events more then I’ve cared to admit up to this point, and with the exception of what you’ve just read….. I’m at a loss for words.

Give the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund a look, please, and have a beer for him.
