I never came out and said thank you to all the people that came out and offered me their GameCube controllers. I was so surprised by the kindness everyone showed... it really made me happy to be apart of this community. I was able to make an art deal with someone and soon after that, I was playing multiplayer Mario Kart Double Dash with my kids. Why, even just today I was playing some 3 player vs. battle with them and totally kicked their asses. Awww yeah... that's how I roll. ^_^

So once again, thank you all so very much. It's much appreciated.
