what a lovely thing to say, mr. zero, and really, so inspiring too - from now on when I post, before I click "submit reply" I will have to ask myself "would mr. zero be at home reading this in the 'beautiful thread'? And then I will have to weigh the consequences if the answer is no, and question the value of the post in the first place.
For a long time now, I've neglected to put my mr. zero filter on, and my posts have definitely suffered. Come to think of it, the delights have utterly disappeared, and I didn't notice until this very moment, so thank you for awakening that epiphany in me. You're good at that, and you always manage do it kindly with so few words.

Thank you. Surely you realize that i am but a lowly amoeba cowering in the shadow of the 100th person in line waiting far behind some barriers to shake your hand as you receive the graetly sought-after Medal of General Meritoriousness in the Field of Everything (Not Limited to but Including "Almost As Gargantuan a Genius as David Lynch Himself, Almost")

Ah, Brynn Brynn Brynn! Such a lovely soul, and on your birthday even lovelier! What a thrill to be able to say I've seen your avatar on Ze Frank. Well, not ON Ze Frank, but on the Ze Frank bulletin board. You KNOW what I mean!

Oh Mr. Bales, I do, I do. I think you've gone and made me cry. However, don't you think that if Ze himself were to wear someone's avatar on a t-shirt, yours would look smashing on him? The image is dynamic, modern, and yet fully grounded in classicism, like your poetry.

Ah, dear Brynn, you are poetry and a delight, as good and charming as a person can be, so naturally all birthday greetings and warm wishes to you on your celestial anniversary and every day in the coming year!

xfox deserves to be surprised with flowers every day because she inspires it.
