You realize, of course, that there is a reason he spelled it plack? It’s a relatively new meme here.

This is a pitting? I didn’t even realize that. This feels like an MPSIMmings.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone has said ‘fuck’ once so far. But at least Mace is finally getting what’s due him, after all these years. I’ve been storing up my venom for over a decade, now I finally see the board come together to unleash on him as he deserves!

(This one ought to rightfully get me close to that dream of 1%…)

I was there for 5 years 25 years ago, and the other day, a “yinz” actually slipped out! :smack: That city gets its hooks in you, it really does.
