***************************************
*DISCLAIMER* THIS IS A JOKE! Just a way of having Cape Breton as your "friend"... plz don't email asking who I am or what do I want. Chances are, if I requested you as a friend then it's b/c I saw you were from CB! And if you STILL don't get it, a reason you might want CB as your friend is to show that you like CB or live there, plus you can also check out CB's other friends to see who the coolest ppl in the world are! The main point of this disclaimer, is just relax! LOL Have fun, and long live CB!
