Snippy advises Ranger Uke not to retire. You have a good job that will last you until you are well into your 70s.

You've been there a long time. Stick with it!

Hang on, Uke. You can do it. You keep paying, I'll keep collecting. Yeah, that's the ticket!

So Cy...are you suggesting Uke forgive (Pardon the pun) Snippy? And keep working at Interbay in order that YOU reap the benefits afforded by all working railroaders, who contribute to OUR retirement system?

Uke is, if nothing else, a man of his word. Uke's word is sacrosanct! His only good... One of his qualities, including loyalty, honesty, forthrightness, and... A few others.

Uke has given official (Ophphicial) notice to the Mech. Asst. Gal Friday at Interbay Headquarters, of his intentions to retire at the ned of May. (Uke means it tu!)

It is good to see that Snippy luvs Uke and is looking out for his best interests. All that hate talk? Totally baseless.

But Snippy didn't say, "Ranger Uke"

Is it worth the embarrassing, adulterous stain of an --edited by Snippy tag?

Adultery? Snippy has cheated on Uke with another?

Ha! LAMO. Should have been adulteress stigmata in a Hester Prynne way.



(Heh. Snippy used stigmata in a sentence.)

 Why in Holly Fucks would Ranger Uke do that? Next thing you know, we'll find out that Ranger Uke is going to take 5 weeks of vacation before he "really" retires.

Uke enjoys stirring large... Rather huge, immense debate amongst the phan base at BurningJournaldotcom. Uke's intentions may not be revealed until sometime after the ned of March. A couple years from this date (currently), and to further confuse Snippy.

That said, Uke will accept donations to the "Uke Retirement PHUNd" until further notice. Keep those dollars, florins, pounds, pesos, drachma, and gold coins flowing to the FUNd!

Thanks in advance!
