Well… he’s banned. Does anyone know why? What did he do? ---

He was banned for being a sock puppet with **Weird with Words** , who turns out to be his son. Everything’s back to normal now. ---

False alarm. Nothing to see here. ---

Better change those meds, swami. 😉 (No, I am sure you did see the words. But they’re gone now!) ---

You did. He was banned for about 15 minutes or so. I’ll bet every minute of that was pure hell, too. However, I got a 15 minute break from the “Tighty Righty” crap, so it was worth it. ---

**december** finally gets banned, **manhattan** once again blows a gasket, revealing just how immoderate he really is, and now we get **Son of 'Luci** , who proves to be a chip off the old block! God, I love this place! ---
