Ah, come on **Ukie**! The all-flaming, all-swearing Pit is down for a month, and the best idea you can come up with for a Pit thread is “a slight headache”? Just go to bed, man!

Drink a fuckton of water, skip the aspirin, and go to bed.

Just go to bed, but then if you are in bed you won’t be reading this. Right?

Take a Vicodin and consider yourself lucky if you _make it_ to the bed.

Oh, you sly devil, you.

First you tell us you are mad at Percy Shelley.

Now you have a headache.

Somewhere there is a pattern here. This is really a treasure hunt, insn’t it. Or a contest? That’s it!

He’s trying to get up the nerve to tell us all that in reality, he is **FrankenstIke** , the mythic Doper from out of the misty reaches of the recesses of our dank dark evil loamy fetid past.

But, give the man some room. He’s had a tough month, and some fuckwit tightened the bolts on his neck with a Snap-On Tool[sym]Ô[/sym] and he’s just not been right since.

There, there, dear. 😃

p.s. did I do that wrong, or have we lost our Symbols abilities for the time being??? I’ll let it stand in there, in case it just needs a tweaking from the Powers Dat Bee.
