Following in the footsteps of the greats of the past, including such figures as Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, or Simon and Garfunkel, or Joe Dimaggio and Marilyn Monroe (although Taylor is not quite that good-looking, and I can't hit a baseball with the side of a barn), the unstoppable duo of Chad and Taylor is announcing, with grave solemnity to mark the occasion, their amicable breakup. As of this announcement, Taylor is no longer an official staff member of GoldToken.com.

My lawyers have advised me neither to confirm nor deny the rumors of the near-tragic rabid squirrel attack, which was, by the way, not at all my fault, and anyway, after a few years of physical therapy, Taylor's limp should be largely unnoticeable, so please don't ask me about it. I have no comment on the matter, except perhaps to say that I actually think he looks a little better this way, and the plastic surgeon was a miracle worker.

Stepping in to fill the large void that Taylor is leaving behind will be the inimitable Bouncer, whose finesse is in his largesse, and if his extensive background experience didn't impress me, his brass knuckles and his invitation for me to be introduced to his cousin Guido certainly did. I certainly hope he will be up to the job of handling the rowdy bunch that often crowds the corridors of GoldToken.

So please join with me in sending Taylor a heartfelt thanks for the years he was with us, and in extending a warm welcome to Bouncer. Any requests for official GoldToken assistance that Taylor used to handle should from this point on be sent to Bouncer. Thanks.

-- Chad
