Hehehe! Yeah, I love this one! Every time I hear it, it still makes me laugh :) But you know, I think it's even better in French! (Not that I can pronounce it all myself, but I can read it.) "Ici, c'est un phare. à vous." Bwee!

Hi, hi. I'm bothering everyone who's listed Steven Erikson as an interest (kill me later please) to say that if you're interested I've set up memoriesofice. It's lonely and empty right now, but who knows, that could change.

Check it out if you feel like :)
