Let’s begin by thanking all of you who took the time to write us little “frash inawrd indE?”-type semi-obituaries during our long hiatus. Believe us, were it not for you, we would have shriveled up and become another “drom ye qebeT neger” cyber casualty... not to say that our demise would not have lessened the threat posed to world peace by the Axis of Pedantic Pseudo-Intellectual Windbags… but hey, compared to legitimate disasters such as, say, missing your exit on the new ring road in Addis (Ayadrss!), our nefs wuCHi/nefs gbi angst seems pretty vacuous. Still, we will forever be humbled by our readers’ concern, compassion and classically SELEDesque passive aggressive-inet. How moved we were by y'alls' "Trrrrrrig belu/afer s'hon yet gebachiu?s". We felt the love/venom.

So, strictly in the “be careful what you wish for” category, SELEDA wushimma #4, “Kuraz K”, sent us this l’il sum'sum right as we were solemnly contemplating the meaninglessness of life now that SELEDA’s application to join the Coalition Forces has been rejected… (As IF Saddam could withstand even one close encounter with SELEDA's implausibly verbose and excruciatingly pointless homily about absolutely nothing?? We'll have you know, Ato and Weizero Coalition Forces, that we are veterans of battles waged by SELEDA upper management! Saddam? 'Ta!!)

Annniiiiiiiiiyyywayz, Kuraz, we owe you for helping us dust off the cobwebs off of our keyboards and what is left of our brain.
