My old message board I was posting on got depressing, bitter, and somewhat creepy. I need something to do during work to help break up the boredom! So here I am. Looking forward to good times! ---

I do have to ask what your tolerance for pedantic nitpicking is. Because we’ve always got a lot of that. Welcome to the wide world of tetraplyoctomy. ---

And here I thought this was going to be something about moving to Maine. OK, now for important questions: - Ketchup on hot dogs? - Corn on the cob - around, or across? - Toilet paper - over or under? Answer carefully - this will tell us all we need to know. ---
