I really hate to do things like this

But. . .

I regretfully report that the Pirate ZiPpo has been U.A. from his blog for over a month, leaving those who travel to see him unfulfilled. The fact that he hasn't yet missed movement is a favorable factor.

In this case I award the A.N.M. (Above Named Man)to be held in the "special links" section of my blog untill be begins his assigned posting again.

This Trainwreck Mast is ajourned.
M.A.A. you will read this sentence at morning quarters.
