Dear Mark, I should have waited until Dec.25 to post this/but since I can actually get into the boards & post from home for a few delirious moments/I figured it was now or never... I just wanted to tell you that after my semi-long hiatus/it is really great to be back wandering thru this grand asylum of yours. I've been an in-&-out patient since 1996/when I 1st got a computer. It's amazing even to flip back & forth between here & TPOGH & see who much work you've put into erecting & maintaining Sorabjiland. Like all great institutions/Sorabjiland was built to last. And I hope it will. For a very long time. Unlike many great institutions/Sorabjiland is still 100% commercial free. No annoying banners. No links to Amazon.com. No irritating force-ad pop-ups. AND NO COOKIES! (You have no idea how much I hate cookies. Even Glassdog has a cookie now. It's only one/but I still refuse it.) I/for one/deeply appreciate the fact that/despite what I am sure are numerous lucrative offers/you have consistently told corporate sponsors to Go Fuck Themselves rather than let them invade this haven & enrich your bank account. I hate the word 'class' -- it's doesn't mean what it used to & it gets used too much by people who wouldn't know class from a turd on the sidewalk. People always mention Jackie O & Princess Di when speaking about class. Because they don't understand that true class has nothing to do with big money & fancy clothes & always looking great in public. You, Mark Thomas, have more class than anyone else one the Web. You give far more of yourself & your time than we can ever repay you for. And I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for it. Merry Christmas & best wishes for the Year 2000. (for what it's worth). Affectionately, - R.C.

right on R.C. I think we all forget about Mark now and then, but i think he likes that. I've said it before, but thsi place has saved my mental well-being more than once. Thanks Mark! Happy Xist-mas!

Double that for me Merry Christmas and love to you.

i don't forget about mark. how can anyone forget about mark? i only miss the office cam. and moreso the bedcam. i live for the stories. this is my favorite place on the internet.

I like him too.

that bastard owes me $10 and a pitcher of margaritas.

mmmm we're having a margaritias party this weekend. mmmmmm

LOL! He's owed you that $10 since LAST YEAR!!! Better take it as a loss, hoss.

I always wanted to write a book in which the main character -- the most important character -- is never seen. That's how I think of Mark Thomas: the most important character in this tawdry . Kisses, Rhiannon

Yikes! *ahem* That would be "tawdry outfit." Though just a blank space is kind of appropriate.

Have a super Socially Supported Semi-Spiritual Season, Mark.

yeah, all that they said. see you in two days, suckah.

agatha, be sure to bring back a piece of Mark Thomas (tm) to the west coast.

finger nail clippings, piece of hair and a sweaty sock then we can proceed with the (you know what) and the (wink wink ) and then for the finale the (nudge nudge) RIGHT!!!!

Voodoo?

Who do? You do! do what? Remind me of the babe...

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

fuck you, you uncultured ass.

$5 for the person who can explain the boy! uncultered? homogenized and pasturized above and beyond USDA standards bitch! don't make me start the arm swinging!

UNCULTURED

How did this go from wishing Mark a Merry Christmas to white trash?

I think He would be proud.

future generations will believe that Mark Thomas (tm) is a god. once active, now silent. just like all the other gods.

get a pair of his tightie whities too. and ask him to show you my panties.

just remember though: my ass is currently much smaller.

behind the curtain, with all the gadgets and voice digitizers

you'll all get nothing and like it. how's that?

something is very, very wrong with my penis. http://listen.to/404notfound I like them a lot.
