Rev3 should boot Eden Soto out the door and buy you all the wide ruled spiral notebooks and Crayola marker 16-packs available at the local pharmacy instead. Two of the video comments were incorrectly attributed to Joe Larson, but I barely noticed because my mind was blown by Spider-Man’s laser eyes.
Don’t you know? Zen Atheist and Mokeymok ARE me. They are my right hand and my left. They exact my will and obey my whims. So you may accept their words as tho from my mouth and credit me accordingly.

Awesome wrap-up for the year, Anthony.
I’d have to agree with Joe about Pax Britannica. I played it until the bits literally melted out of the executable.
