Not if Gfactor pees on it. Then it's just a soggy book.

Damn it, we've given fluiddruid her own little empire. This place is going to become a hotbed of radicalism, I tell you. A hotbed!

Not at all. Nostrodamus predicted it in one of his quatrains. Or maybe his choo-choo train. (The one he got from King Friday.)

Damn! And I thought there would be Vanna White or Carol Merrill pictures here.

Instead, just a bunch of Jay Stewart wannabees ...

My favorite game show ever was one that was only on late at night in the early 80's where the celebrity panel (Betty White et al) would show the contestants a weird cryptic object. Then they'd each have a different explanation of what it was for. Three would be lying, and one not; the contestant had to guess who was right. The only object I remember for sure was a mayonnaise viscosity tester.

Yes, I know. I'm weird.
