[QUOTE=Santo Rugger]  
This is pretty dumb.

I like it.  
[/QUOTE]

Ditto – and ditto. And I’ve tried to tell a couple of different people (both of whom have kind of a bemused curiosity about why I spend so damn much time here) about the Obameme, and … um, it doesn’t make any sense to me, either. It definitely makes me smile, though, to scan through some completely politically neutral thread in Cafe Society or The Game Room and look at all the location tags.

I can’t find a user by that name. I even searched the thread for any user with either snow or bunny as part of their name, and came up blank. No luck searching for Mt. Obama, either. Sorry. I have added **Pleonast** and **Celtic Cowboy** , though, bringing us up to 96. Woo Hoo!
