Steve, I’m shocked, and so disappointed… (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-frown.gif)
Well, since Steve won’t be there this time, we’re not going either. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif)

I knew you would be, Andy, but I’m sure you’ll be able to get as long without me, if you try.
