"the" is a term of endearment amongst us geeks. and "mod" is short for "modulus."
both brenna and i have mod on our lj friends list, where he announced that he was in the hospital.
I thought you might have been talking about Modulous, but I also thought you could be meaning a certain Moderator.
Crap! Anyone know what's wrong?
Well, Mod, if you can read this or not, I extend my prayers and sympathies, brother.
