In my 52 weeks on this board, I've seem a lot of good, a small measure of less-than-good, a lot of comraderie, a lot of silliness, a lot of fun, alot of good intentions, a few odd intentions, more than a bit of weirdness, and a number of truly beautiful souls.
I've met only eight of you (10 if you count Barry and Steve), but I feel like I've bonded with dozens of you. You've dazzled me, amused me, challenged me, laughed with me - and made fun of me!
We've debated, flirted, insulted, humored, corraborated each others' jokes, enjoyed each others'creative works, politicked, challenged, campaigned, shared a laugh or three hundred, quized, piqued, and who-knows-what-elsed ach other, and...
I salute you all!
A toast:
May each and every one of you find your bliss;
May you all get your kiss;
May the new year grant you gifts,
May you heal all heart's rifts;
May you all find your voice,
May you all be given a Rolls-Royce;
May you all find your heart's content,
May you all think kindly of ol' Kent!
...
Be well.
May you god or gods be with you.
Happy holidays,
Sean

A toast 2005:
May this year's end find you well and wise, May you receive the best of gifts of every size; May you run out of digits to count all your blessings, May you get through December without holiday stressings; May you find the bliss you all deserve, May the season fill you with much verve; May you get on out and have some fun, May we lift our glasses; cheers everyone!
Be well.
May you god or gods be with you.
Happy holidays,
Sean

May everyone who I have PM'd over the months I've been posting (and those I haven't) please take care over Christmas - you be all good folks and I'd hate to not hear from you in the new year
Posted by Arachne on :
That was even better than last year, Kent.
Posted by Cobalt Rhino on :
I told Kent when I saw him in Boston that his toast last December was one of my favorite posts of all last year, and I'm glad to see him follow it up with another great one! Well said Sean
Cheers all, and Happy holidays!

(raises a glass) May the Yuletide hearth keep you safe from the storm, May good company keep you merry and warm, May you celebrate nearness with family and friends, May old grudges and angers give way to amends, May goodwill flow from your heart with all good cheer, May you share all your blessings with souls far and near, May you join me in raising a holiday glass, To say "Wassail!" to each lad and each lass! Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I was going to actually PM you about this This might be your best toast yet!
To you all Legion World and the LMB, for all the fun, smiles and laughter you've given me! Friends come in all shapes and sizes and know no distances, bounderies and limits! I'm glad I've come to know many of you through this enjoyable way of conversing! Happy Holidays!

I'll try check in again on Christmas Eve but if I don't I hope you all spend the holidays in a way that you enjoy.
CHEERS!

I really missed this board over the summer, but I didn't realise just how much I was missing until I came back. There's really something special about this place and everyone in it. Posted by Vee on :
I was starting to worry!
Thanks for the wonderful toast Kent and for all the wonderful times on Legion World this year everyone!

Well I did my best to live up to this one Sean, thanks.
And here I am after the event wanting to raise a glass back in your direction.
Having seen New York, Niagara and Boston with you old bean where next shall we meet?
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Well, I wish I could say that I can afford to come over to your side of the pond soon, but as a poor student that isn't too likely.
Is your reenactment group still coming over? We've got lots of old forts circa 1700s into early 1800s throughout this area on both sides of the border.
Otherwise... How do Montreal, Ottawa and/or Quebec City sound? All three are wonderful places, reasonably close to each other (and me), and maybe we can talk Arachne into meeting up with us, too.
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
Looks like the re enactment thing has fallen through
I will have to look see if the finances can stand a trip to Canada in 2007 but might have to put things off until 2008.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
don't forget 2008 is the BIG San Diego gathering! You both have to come for that!
Posted by Faraway Lad on :
We will be there have no fear (or having met us perhaps you should be afraid be very afraid )
In fact I have already told Jennifer I will be missing some of the re enactment stuff to get to the big meeting, so come hell or high water I will find you.
<cue ghoulish music> Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
If Operation Cananda is a go, give me some time to get Pov's papers in order, as he is now banned from Canada, as you may remember!
Looking forward to seeing you both again, and possibly roping in some of our Canandian LMBers!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
They want to talk to you about your spelling, too. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I refuse to change it!
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
May the season of Yuletide dissolve all your ills May a crackling fireplace remove any chills May compassion and caring be given quite freely May those blessings return upon you very really May the eggnog and nutmeg and holiday spices Sweeten your feasting with all it entices May your loved ones both real and those at a click Wish you the best, from themselves and St. Nick!

May your season of Yuletide be gracious and giving, May your holiday gath’rings be lavish, bon-living, May the year’s good pickings have outnumbered the bad, And offered rewards for each lass and each lad, May missteps be pardoned and hatchets be buried, May worries be calmed and all hearts so be merried, May the spirit of kindness grow ‘yond any end, Pray join me in raising a glass, all my friends!

Thank you, Kent, and glad tidings to all.
Posted by cleome on :
D'awwww...
Glad that Kent doesn't forget us when he's away.
Speaking of toasts, anyone who likes Bloody Marys should swing by our place for brunch on Xmas morning. There'll be bagels and lox, too. If my bank account co-operates tomorrow.

Twas the week before Christmas And from here in the snow, I pray thee good tidings, To all that I know.
The year's nearly out But the new one's so near May your hopes flow like stout, May your ills disappear.
You lads, such hard workers, You lasses so fair, Yon alts and yon lurkers, Let us all show we care!
Hard hearts, let's be torchin' Raise a glass for souls' wealth! A toast to your fortunes! A toast to your health!
I toast thee for olde times, For all said and done, I toast thee for new times, For good things to come.
For these are the new days Of future legend and myth Let our hearts' candles blaze, Merry Christmas, my kith! Posted by He Who LSHes on :

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
The 8th! This might be the only thing in my life that has remained consistent over the past seven Decembers...
Star light, star bright, farthest star I see tonight; Legion Worlders, friendships tight, may your cares be without blight. Take this brief toast if you will, and let us raise our cups to fill!
Let us toast to times we've shared, Let us share travails we've fared, Let us toast to all the fun, Comrades true, all said and done. Let us toast to risks we've dared, Here amongst friends who cared!
One for all and all for one, On the eve of shortest sun, Suffer not from winter's chill, let friendship warm you still. Suffer no fight nor plight, may your Yule be out of sight! Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Lovely, Kent!
All I have at the moment is a cup of coffee substitute, but I raise it to one and all at Legion World.
