Thank you for a really good laugh :) I needed this!
I know there are some "old timers" out there that must be getting a kick out

excoriated smoking is insufficient, us vegans demand an entire area devoted

Hum, I might need to build a bigger rules sign board for NSL. What do you

Perhaps we should consider also prohibiting country-western music between
