You losers need to let this sit for a month and THEN bump it. This way, the next nef that bumps the thread after such a long forgotten time will actually....well....no....he'll still be a nef. But it'll be more nostalgic. Right? .....Guys??

I think this thread is a great excuse for me to raise my count by 1.

BTW, why not edit the the title to something like "Neffers Invitational"
