😕

Obviously, it’s **@!(\*&^#&$**. You must still be woozy from the poison cheesecake. Go eat some Oreos; that should counteract any remaining symptoms.

No, I feel better now. There’s a username that makes use of several punctuation keys but is still a legible word… but I’m blanking on it.

QFT. Hell, my name wasn’t even thought up by me. The roommate has a talent for throwing out odd names like Cargobay Hemisphere and Buffalo Cybertron. I probably shouldn’t have changed it…

So you’re telling me you had a perfectly good excuse to go eat Oreos, and didn’t take it? Are you SURE you’re from the Men of Westernesse?

Neat, mentioned in the OP! I’m feeling special now.  
I’ve always been a big fan of **Earl Snake-Hips Tucker**. The idea of snake-hips just makes me laugh.

I was already stuffed with lembas. I must have had… oh, jeez, half of one.

So you’re really a Perian. How’s about you change your screen name to **Bandobras’s Heir** and I’ll become **Elendil’s Heir** , just for the sake of accuracy?
