Dear Slappy,
Well, it's been a long road. A couple of long cold winters (some nice summers too) but it does appear that I have finally posted my little heart out and the time has come whereby with Your permission I can enter into Slappy's Army. Gee Slap, I must say I sure have met some fine people around here. People that I can call my friends. I can kinda tell that I will remain friends with for a very long time. Perhaps Slap, you just have a way of attracting a real good brand of folk that look out for each other and have the common love for Mother G.
Well Slap, sure has been nice writin to ya and maybe I will write again in the near future, but rest assured that I'm always thinkin about ya and a wishin you always the best. And just so that ya know Slap, I sing that lil tune of yours in my head all the time... Somtin like, "Nobody dune like Slappy dune".
Ok then Slap, well be sure and let me know if I'm accepted into your Army and I promise to always be very respectful of Mother G, your Army and the rest of the folks around here at GD.com.
Your Friend,
Sanddoc
