By the way, hewe, a bit of fashion advice: don’t wear your shower cap and corset at the same time. That’s just tacky. ---

Welcome! Whatever you do, _don’t_ take a trip to the Marianas Trench. Mankind was already there in the 1960s, but just for 20 minutes. And keep your 1920s-style Death Ray in your holster. [sub]These are all inside jokes that hopefully you’ll have a bit of fun figuring out[/sub] Tripler And for Og’s sake, where is that damned goat? ---

And for Og’s sake, don’t tell your cow-orkers you come here. People who do that make the baby Jesus cry. Unless, of course, they bring pie with them, in which case it isn’t unusual to have penis ensue. ---

If we can just get it to sneeze… Wow, this soap-opera gets better and better. \*\* grabs some popcorn.\* Welcome, **hewe**.
