I'm just curious if this is in English text, or if it is in Aurabesh. For me, it's in Aurabesh. I want to see if it will work online:
Can you read this?

No comment. It was a 9 in 10 chance. But good colleges assigned for second interview

90% of candidates are interviewed.
It's actually basic probability. Something I hope to study sometime. |

Yes, that's "Something to keep the tread going" backwards.
Now guess this: (The puntuation has been moved to the end) 1:Kcab emac tah eht ni tac eht.
2:Ssap ton llahs uoy!
3:Egnarts siht t'nsi?
So what do you think?

Has everyone in the Teacup gone "through the looking glass" or something? Talk right dammit! *goes to bar, helps self to a V.S.O.P. cognac, ambles out to pool patio to watch glorious sunset. Dragazzo is lounging poolside smoking cigars with Leroy, deep in earnest conversation about who-knows-what.*
Everyone have a nice Thanksgiving?

Ciao, Shah! You cloak now, don't you? Friggin' cloakers. I can never tell when my favourite mooters are around anymore; it's becoming the "in thing to do," this cloaking is all the rage lately. Are you over that wicked flu now? Hey check out the RPG, I wrote a little Buz piece. Are ou gonna finish the race soon? It's jsut that I'd like to write a little Viv soon, but I can't really write post-race action for her until the results of the race are in, and I see what Ray et al are going to be doing the remainder of Monday.

Yes, I too am cloaked. But I've always been, until my account died of said cloaking, then it came back.
I have joined the ranks of the Unseen Mooters. Beware. or not.

Anybody ever head of cyclocross racing? It's more or less a mountain bike race with many laps around a short course, with lots of obstacles (hurdles, mudpits, rocky sections that your bike's shocks can't take) that you can only get past by jumping off and carrying your bike. Pretty cool. That's something I want to get into, but of course I'd have to work myself into the proper shape. Shucks. Now I can't wait till Christmas comes and I get to use my little brother's new weight set.
