I can’t see anyone else coming up with it. Besides, it’s more fun to blame you. As for hawkeyejo, I just learned he’s Indian, so if we’re going to initiate him, Curry Must Be Involved, since everyone thinks all Indians use curry and most of us don’t. ---

> [@Daithi Lacha](#): > > No, no, no - - that was Turkish **Ecstasy** , remember? We changed the formulation this time around, toned it down a bit. We were thinking of doing Turkish Passive Complacency, but it was just so… _meh_. Turkish _Ecstasy_? You sure? Hmm. But then my memories if the actual event are a bit… nonexistent. I do remember the cleanup. Whoever though it was a good idea to put wall-to-wall shag carpeting in a class-four virology lab should be taken out and shot NOW, if they weren’t already. ---

I am the lady…ahem, gent in red. I can’t find a prettier pic of me…don’t think there exists one where I don’t look like BigFoot (minifoot?)
