    /continues to batter own bosses with request for a fricking blog. It’s the 21st century people!!!

  13. I cringed when I seen your quoting yourself, Pat XD

    Anyways, congratulations Pat =D

  14. Axle said:

    Surely if the site is reporting in the third person then Patrick quoting himself is gramatically correct?

  15. patlike said:

    I didn’t know what to do! I suppose I could have put “said I.”

  16. reask said:

    Don’t mind them Pat jealously is a terrible thing.

  23. Hunam said:

    I thought they were basically they same thing. You guys gonna be hanging around somewhere that can be found so we can give you a big hello?

  24. patlike said:
