wow, that isn't what I thought this thread was going to be about. I had pictured you, maybe covered in honey maybe not, falling and being swarmed by ants filling your nostrils and causing a slurring of speech. Perhaps that was just wishful thinking.

Wow I got to keep adblock on, I was just attacked by ads a minute ago. I was at the onion and this massive ad with sound started lagging the hell out of my computer and my music! These things are getting out of hand, I feel sorry for anyone who puts up with this stuff regularly. I guess I just need to keep adblock on!
Was that an add for "adblock"?
