My father slept-walked (sleepwalked?) one time when I was an adolescent. He went downstairs, took all of the laundry out of the dryer, and shoved it all bodily into the refrigerator. My family was not very pleased with the resulting butter, pudding, and fruit stains.

Wow Danger, that came out of nowhere.

Not really. If you want to check back through Franzbear (The Thread Killer Thread) and other GD posts of the same vintage, you'll see that it's a pretty normal response for me. I've just been a bit laid-back for the past couple of years.
