Well, I laughed, yeah, but I still don’t know how I was had. Who had me?

Besides the hairy guy\* on the couch, I mean…  
\*For the record, I feel compelled to state at this point that I didn’t REALLY date the Hairy Guy. We were just friends. But I wanted to make that sibling joke, so I had to pretend. You understand.

Love,

Sorry, **carnivorousplant** , your process just crashed and dumped StovoCore.  
Get it? StovoCore? 'Cause y’all were making Klingon jokes? And Klingon warriors go to Stovo … ah, the heck with it. You guys are no fun at all.
