Sheesh. I come back after a weekend doing nothing, and I find that digg is comfortably outside his comfort zone because of a pony, Maz lives in a country full of sheep-shaggers, Aeth knows a bit more about latex than than would be characterized as "a passing fancy," Fish still hasn't surprised me with anything that falls under "things you didn't know about Texas and were afraid to ask," gaxe shops for condoms at the King Size Men's store, PT is still the sweet, demure young thing she always was, protein's Erlenmyer Flask is a few cc's short of a liter, Horse is still living the Hawaiian life I've dreamed about since I was a kid (shorts, Aloha shirt, bare feet, straw hat, cold beer, and ocean beaches), and garden gnomes have now made it onto my list of things to keep a suspicious eye on.
Boy did I miss this place.
