See the problem?
The innertubes is actually a very big place. What you should have done is just back away.
I write a blog. If you can find it you’ll love it. I am terribly polite. Unfortunately my blog is as boring as… can be. That’s why I am hanging out here.

I agree that OMDs are not much better than NMDs, not more so however. OMDs actually trained, and apprenticed, for that sort of thing…

Oh yeah — Louis Black is SO funny, while making nice little political points here and there too. Seems effective to me.

Now please hush. (Mommy, was that nice enough?)
