Joost, I recall seeing Dave run you off the grid at the last event. My harness kept me from falling out of my car laughing. Good to see you step in on grid. Will you just the same grid method or some variation of van Gogh swirls?

As far as Van gogh goes, here's an interesting snippet:
"To be precise, it was the lobe of his left ear which he put into an
envelope and gave to a brothel wench named Rachel with
these words: "Guard this object carefully." After he tried to
drink a quart of turpentine in his studio, he was sent to the
asylum at Saint-Remy on May 7, 1889. The doctors began to
treat him with hydrotherapy for acute mania and epilepsy. A
precise diagnosis of Van Gogh's illness is still unavailable,
despite hundreds of conjectures. We do know a few facts:
Van Gogh suffered from syphilis contracted from prostitutes
off the docks at Antwerp; there was also a history of mental
illness in his family. Some physicians now believe Van Gogh
may have had a congenital brain lesion that was aggravated by
absinthe."
As far as I know, I do not suffer from any mental illnesses like mania or epilepsy, nor have I contracted syphillis, so Greg, bring on the absynth! In the mean time we'll try to keep grid's sanity.

Good one, Greg!!!!!!
To correct for our good friend Joost's benefit, just substitute "Turpentine" for Bourbon and add "lobe" to ear and your're there.

Why exactly is Joost going to cut off his ear? Does he have some sort of thing for Mike Tyson? I mean it's just weird...

Please cite the Handbook section containing this requirement. I couldn't find it in the text. Further, the list of Oct08 Revisions (page 4) makes no mention of such a requirement.
