Chris was the guest on .NET Rocks tonight. He talked about a bunch of techie crap, but the most important thing is that he offered to donate a ticket to this year's SellsCon to the 2004 Semi-Annual One-Time-Only Neopoleon.com "Get Your Grubby Little Hands On a Copy of VS.NET 2003 Special Edition" Contest, which I am now going to have to rename to the 2004 Semi-Annual One-Time-Only Neopoleon.com "Get Your Grubby Little Hands On a Copy of VS.NET 2003 Special Edition and a ticket to SellsCon V" Contest.

Chris - you've been so ridiculously kind to the Rodawgg (that's me, y'alls) over the past year that it's sometimes baffling. Lest I should ever forget to do so, please allow me to take this opportunity to thank you for

1) Contributing this ticket

- and -

2) Pretty much just kicking ass

So, thanks :)

In recognition of the contributions that you've made to the "Official Rory Blyth Program for Disadvantaged Rory Blyths," I've drawn a picture of you dressed up as a king. The colored dots in your crown are precious stones, and the golden scepter has an eagle on top of it which symbolizes your ability to use your incredible vision to swoop down in a meadow and fly off with vermin - also, I gave you a mutant left arm:

I was trying to be nice with that whole "vermin" thing, but I don't really know where I was going with this.

Anyway, I know people who'd kill for an arm like that. Just think about the things you could reach.
