Thank you Syd for another wonderfull poem. The care and effort you put into it shows, integrating various threads that GameBoomers have throughout the year is genius. Also, a touching memory to those loved one's who passed away this year.
Warm holiday wishes to everyone at GameBoomers!

That was really super Syd. So how long did it take you to write it? Bets

Hi everyone Thanks for the comments - makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know you enjoyed reading it (though how you all stayed awake through it is beyond me) I'm not sure if it's the best so far, but it sure as heck is the longest As to how long it took me - right around 30 hours give or take, all crammed into two days On a more serious note - I want everyone here to know I don't leave people out deliberately. Sometimes I just plain forget someone or I change things at the last minute and take something out I didn't mean to, etc. I never, ever intended this to hurt anyone's feelings because their name wasn't mentioned. I would rather just not do it anymore than hurt someone.
Dark Side : Risen Light Side: I can only please one person a day. Today isn't your day. Tomorrow's not looking good either.

Syd, I wasn't sure I would get included since I've gone over to "the dark side", but I was pleasantly surprised to receive my 15 seconds of fame again this year. It always makes me feel proud to be apart of your yearly Christmas poem. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and yours

Syd! We love you! It would not be the same here without your GB Poem! What a tough job, with all the members and most of them a bit goofy!! (didn't mean me! I'm Looney!! hahaha!) Syd, if we are toooooo quiet, what can you say? And if we are toooo vocal, well, ya just have tooo much to say! Lovely of you to find a balance and I'm sure that all members will now try to be the funniest and enlighten our year, just to be immortalized in your beautiful poetry! You are really talented.... Thank you!!!

Syd, I don't think anyone who is in their right mind would ever think that you would deliberately leave a member out of your Christmas opus...

Well, except when Syd got so upset when I played the review copy of Traitor's Gate 2, instead of giving it to her. She was all excited over it and was convinced it was the one game that would make The Scroll look good. Let's just say.. things were said, threats were made. I swear Syd, the next turkey is all yours!! It took some mighty powerful persuasion to get myself back in the poem. heh-heh
