There are four possibilities here: 1.) I’m too drunk to understand the OP. 2.) I’m _not drunk enough_ to understand the OP. 3.) The OP is crazy. 4.) The OP is making a reference that I don’t get. I’ve decided to test number two by drinking until either the OP makes sense or I pass out. ---

I downed a half liter of vodka while watching an episode of Doctor Who\* since the my last post. The OP still doesn’t make any kind of sense to me. Option two [Dalek\*\* voice]EXTERMINATED[/Dalek voice]. > [@jsutter](#): > > Probably the of your options. Aloha Uhhh… what? I’m pretty sure I covered all the bases with those 4 things. \*totally off topic: The tenth and eleventh doctors really hit the sweet spot between campy and serious. I sure hope the twelfth doctor continues that. \*\*Firefox doen’t know that ‘Dalek’ is a word. ---
