So you're going to unexpectedly start to hate me?
I don't hate anybody.(I'll tell you why later because now I'm too tired to explain) That's another story. You can ask others as I told you. :wink:

It's a pun. It's supposed to be funny. You know, Lenin, leader of commi's, Communism, 'reds', he was writting in red, he's a 'red', he's very 'red'. Get it?

Oh...my bad...I screwed it up before you made that last post...sorry. :blushing:

[edit]
ok...I was right... it goes
Code:
Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me
[/edit]

We were going in order?! :smile: I had to look up the lyrics after the first two lines. I think it's that state-dependent memory thing. Anywho, where are we?

Whatever, you're in the juuungle, baby!

See, in the 2nd post, marlon said, "Welcome to the jungle, man". Well, there's this song by Guns 'N Roses called Welcome to the Jungle... You must have heard it before. In post 18, Townsend said, "Yeah, it gets worse here everyday.", which is another line in the song... catching on now??

If you're all individually reciting the lyrics to the song and nothing else you can just say so... you know, instead of dropping tiny hints everywhere and expecting me to put it together. I'm really bad at that.

A little early to tell. We'll just have to keep a close eye on him.

All the more reason to keep an eye on him, but let's rethink the close part.
