Why do you have so many crazy signature pictures that increase the size of your post?

Dear Mike,
In all the years I've been on this Earth I've learned many things. Now I may not be old compared to some political legends such as Santa Claus or perhaps the Hamburgler, but they'll be remembered for shaping their respective countries in their own ways.
For me though, it's been a different journey. The many paths I've walked down and many I'm to walk down in the future lead me to believe that we all have a purpose.
My purpose was discovered on a windy day back in 1976. Mid May I believe. I was deciding what signature I'd use on the CM when Al and I would create the CM in the year 2002. Then, from behind an old Willow tree a small child appeared. His clothes were torn, his hat was dirty and he had a sheepish grin that truly fascinated me. Much more than the Cosby Show re-runs I see on TV from time to time. I asked this boy who couldn't have been much more than 8 years old, why he was was out on such a windy day. Over the next 20 minutes he told me his story and how he came to hide behind that tree for protection from the wind. This however wasn't what really moved me. During the boy's story, he told me that he was an orphan and that there were many others just like him. I assume hiding behind other willow trees, perhaps only during the month of May. What years they gather to do this? I guess I'll never know.
Anyway the point of my story was that this little boy said that everyone can make a difference. At that moment I knew then that my goal for the CM was to make this signature for the orphans.
So to answer your question sir...
For the Orphans.

Dear Lando,

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

Dear Crustine, I have Roller Hockey practice in a few minutes so I will answer you later.
Also, to everyone else. So that I don't fall so behind in this topic, please only ask ONE question from me until I answer you. Once I answer feel free to ask another one.
The reason this thread keeps dying is because I don't like playing catch up to 30 questions.
I guess if 30 different people only ask one question I'm going to have to answer them all anyway, but this way I wont feel swamped by questions.
Thanks,
-Your friendly neighbourhood Lando
