I've been in this game for a long time and I have a bunch of paperwork
framed on my wall [some of it with absolutely no relation to
computers], but somehow no acknowledgment of what I do and the way I
do it has ever meant quite so much to me. It's quite weird really, all
things considered...
And while we're in 'Oscar Acceptance Speech' mode...
I'd like to thank my mom & dad, my hardware supplier and my li'l cats
Kovak & Idget...
Seriously though... this is a mighty cool** place to frequent and I'm
proud to be a part of it...

I spent a short time over in Hamilton and an even shorter one in
Thunder Bay, and given the state of the winters in that neck of the
woods, summer can't come quick enough. :-̃
Ok... remember that you're dealing with a German here, and that
Germans have no idea about sarcasm, irony or indeed metaphor, not that
metaphor has anything to do with this at all.
So I'll ask you outright. "Are you being serious?"

Just to clear things up - we love our bionic posters so we sent them a
little something as a token of our appreciation!
One of the things was this neat t-shirt with the pseudo-Sitemap file
on the back and a "We Love Webmasters" on the front. It's the same one
Matt Cutts wears from time to time (also seen in http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5GK0aQrCDEo ). We don't hand these t-shirts out to just anyone: only people on the
Webmaster Central team -- and our great bionic posters! -- get them.
Richard & Tim, we didn't have your size when we ordered, so we have to
wait for the next batch before we can send them out to you.

I'm guessing you guys aren't as - hmmm, best engage diplomacy mode for
this one ;-) - heavy-set [rotund?] as many of us in this game, who
mostly think that heavy exercise involves moving a hand from mouse &
keyboard to coke can or crisp packet. :-D
In fact, in light of the landmark ruling in Russia with regards to
Coke, I'm thinking of suing Walkers (Lays) for not stating clearly on
their packs that eating a kilo of crisps (chips) a day is likely to
cause me some weight problems in the long-run. ;-)

They're American Apparel, which tend to run a bit small:
