For challenging us with your unique perspective, raising the level of dialog, or just being plain sassy , I salute you: Ms. Q : An amusing muse Jonathan Philips : Reservoir of positivity Liz Strauss : The original SOB Avinash : Just cool Jesse Somer : Bane of the impetuous Kumiko : Certifiably enthusiastic Andy Beard : Remarkably sane Two Knives : Whose blades are not ceremonial.
