Where _were_ you last Saturday, man? Me and your girlfriend were eating decadent, delicious cheesecake, completely oblivious to the reality of your existence.\* \*Okay, maybe she was aware you existed? I certainly wasnā€™t. Welcome to the Dope! Just stand right on this ā€˜ā€˜Xā€™ā€™ and donā€™t move. No matter what you hear. ---

For the record, if he pisses you off I certianly do not want all complaints directed to me! Direct them to **Wraine** , the Pit, and/or the deity of your choice as you see fit. Welcome to the dope sweetie! Iā€™m sorry about anything that happens that is squid related. Well, not so much sorry as amused.šŸ˜ƒ ---
