I think the albino whateveritwas was a incarnation of Cecil, or whoever’s playing Cecil this week, eavesdropping to see if we were gonna talk smack about moderators. ---

Now I’m even more bummed that I had to miss out… ☹ Once again, I’m staring longingly into the future when I live around here full time with better control over incidental crap that messes up the occasional weekend visit. ---

I wanted to make it, but I ended up all day at the animal shelter picking up a cat. The MVA has nothing on these people I tell you, nothing. Now at least there is a cat running around my house. ---

Okay, that’s it, enough of your slanderin’, put your cards where your mouth is, er, or something. MountainDope is begging for a ratscrewing…how does that not sound right? Opal, I think we’ve made some converts! Good to see everyone, I’m a bit bummed that we don’t have a pic of the “thing.” I like the Cecil theory to explain it…it’s either that, or radiation leaking from somewhere! ---

Yes, but sadly, not enough smack was spoken. ---

WHO was cheating, you skank-ass ho? I know you were cheating. I could see it in your eyes. ---

I think what we need next is an **Opal** v. **panache** Strip Egyptian Rat Screw match. Why, we could even charge admission. Who wouldn’t pay to see that? ---
