19! Unreal. Thanks Steve! Where did the time go?

19,462,911 users since spring 2006, when I began keeping track. I have an older system I could add to it, but who knows where those records are.

For 20 we'll do something big.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

- Well, young and smart customer, what about the flavor ?
- Euh, well, it doesn't really matter, all members have blacks fingernails and smell like sludge !
- How funky seem yours friends to be ! What about the title of the cake ?
- Re - euh : well "Strangers in the night" ? , " if you brake, you're a coward ? " ," Never without finger ? " How much ?
- How many ?
- 100 %, minimum !

Happy happy Masterchief Vroom Super much much. For the moment, the price of the cake is over the candles one... Wait till the day where I will see the exact opposite.

Happy birthday to MVS!

If a tee shirt plan gets airborne may I suggest "tall sizes"? Seriously, even quality tees are too short for many.

Even if a member has to provide his own AND send it to the "printer" himself, it'd be a good option.

PLUS, what could look better than your gal in a long, tantalizing, titillating Matthewsvolvosite tee shirt?

Me? I need it 'cause I'm tall.
