How not to go on and on (and on) about your prodigious pulchritude?  You've overcome the evil stigma that comes with working for [unspecified heinous-but-ubiquitous ISP], have one of the coolest accents on record, and can make EQ sound arguably non-awful.  It's always stunning to realize that you're just now as old as I was when we first became friends, and that you've been so composed that it never occurred to me to question your judgement in a lot of things.
