Finally, I would like to thank everybody at the MSJ for being as helpful and understanding with me as they were, although I wish my name could have been in the staff credits at least once. And I would also like to thank everyone who read my article on a consistent basis and especially those of you who responded back to me. I am looking forward to being back here next year and getting some more humor out at you all.
