    Great Lobby cast guys! It kept me company on the way out and back from the Desert on Friday. Cat was a great addition and totally fit right in. Man, I so wanted to be online while listening b/c there were so many comments I wanted to make! Cat made me laugh out loud w/ the comment about AI bots teabagging. Classic!

    And really Geoff, you haven't read the Harry Potter books? I only started reading them with my son recently but they are really good. I recommend you get on em.

    Thanks for joining in on the 'Cast Cat.

    I think I'm starting to feel competitive about this "thanks spiral" we're in. If I send you a thank you note is it Achievement Unlocked?

    @AZRaiderH8r Glad to hear you share my excellent taste :P

    @Peench That's it, keep wearing him down on the Potter!!

    LOL at Cat. I'll ask Dmiller to look for a "thanks thanks" button so we can add another layer to the site. Either that or you can jump into the Thank Me thread and get your thank on!! haha.

    If we have to get a deal on Amazon and send him all of the Harry Potter books we'll get him reading them! I mean he DID say he liked the first one.

    Yes! That thread deserves a bump by someone self-servingly new to your forums... :P

    Geoff, pull on your snuggie and dive into the series. Maybe you could get the roomie to read them aloud? I sense a new segment for the whatchas...

    Okay, okay. I will see if my brother has the rest of the books and read them. I am assuming that he does have them, since he is a big ol' nerd. I don't have a snuggie, but maybe I can find one that looks like a wizard's robe. Then I can put on my wizard's hat and... nm.
