How come you get all those neato fonts and I can’t even make the print small reliably? (though it lets me do it now.)

I Googled for a web site to generate creepy text then copied-and-pasted. I wasn’t sure it would work, but there you go.

Could he get Ali Larter (with a cheap gold cross) to play Pam Bondi?

That way he could get the whole administration…

HEY, that WORKS! - Ignorance fought…one baby step at a time. I was afraid we were going to have to crowdfund a campaign to upgrade the Dope’s Discourse to give DEATH a much needed voice in this breaking news thread.
