I am actually, a nasty, sadistic person, who tortures small animals in his spare time, and uses hamsters for skeet shooting (It's not easy to make the bullets fly out of the hamsters fast enough, you know.) Trust me, anything you hear is lies, damned lies. Far from personable on IRC, I hiss and snap and bite the limbs off anyone who comes near me. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience accept this award, but as I've already established I don't *have* a good conscience, I'll have it anyway. Ta. /me nips off the stage, dashes out of the door, takes a flying leap into his car, bounces off the side, opens the door, gets in, drives off at high speed, and later gets a half-dozen speed-camera fines in the mail.
