Thanks for working on that. A few comments:

I don't mind the joke, but I guess some people might misunderstand it,
so be ready to clarify if you keep it :-)

What if I have to renew at the beginning of June? :-) Will I receive a

as was used last year (for the real result ;-))?

So mostly minor comments. Everything else looks good!
