Until the point where the most pungent salad dressing cannot hide the rotten flavor anymore. Or the point where mushrooms start growing their own mushrooms.zoobyshoe said:
Your brain may be entangled with Zoobyshoe's -- along a mushroom information channel (which I believe is either channel 714 or 1429).Ibix said:
It's a very narrow channel - there's not mushroom at all.WWGD said:

Do not complain. Those mushrooms saved me recently and several times before.WWGD said:

The new X-files is a HOOT! It is so funny, I love it! I don't remember the original series as being as funny, I remember it being boring and hard to watch.zoobyshoe said:
It rotates through different moods. Some episodes are funny and some are scary and some are boring and hard to watch. The funny episodes are the most memorable.
