It was fun! I tried to post as much on the site, but for some reason it won't let me. :/ I can get as far as the part where it demands word verification, but it won't let me scroll down past the word verification to find a submit button. Just hitting enter doesn't work either. :/ (Happened in both Firefox and Internet Exploder, if you're wondering...)

Silk, I've had the same problem, but I found a solution.  All you have to do is hit "tab" and it will bounce you down so that you can post your comment.

We have a drive-thru Papa Murphy's Pizza in my town.  But you gotta bake it yourself.  Extra cheap, pretty darn good, but requires a lot of work. . . . Who does this remind me of?  RJ?  Not cheap enough.  Terry Pratchett?  Not enough work involved.  Terry Pratchett is more like cotton candy--fluffy and fun, but don't eat too much, right?

That didn't make sense, should've read:  Who does this remind me of?  RJ?  Not expensive enough. (In case anyone really cares.  Just wastin' time.)

The review on Goodkind's latest was awesome. Referring to him as "Terribad..." I don't think I've laughed that hard in years.

The only thing he has to worry about there is that the email will be so long-winded with useless philosophy that his computer will be unable to download the file within his lifetime.

funniest thing I've heard since... well in a very long time. I got a bunch of puzzled looks when I chuckled in the middle of class after I read this :D

I am disappointed in you all. I am noting a lack of contest entries from people here. For shame.

Tip: If you have a contest/job vacancy/competition of any kind where the number trying out is not known to the public, never let anyone know if there are only a few applicants.  There are always "thousands of entrants" and picking the winners "was near impossible" and you are "overwhelmed by the public response."  If you want to drum up more applicants, say that "by popular demand, the contest will be extended one more day, so hurry fast" because the position/contest/competition closes soon.

Besides, if I win, I want to feel like I earned it :)

Oh we have lots entrants, but only a few I recognize from here. Lots of foreign entrants oddly enough. Slackers.
