Dare I ask?

No, i don't

Make it an Atlantic Salmon if you can't find a Magikarp...

Edit: I didn't post up my homework problem because when I was transcribing it I realized that I'd been misreading it (I know, I know, first time for everything). Fear not, i'll stick around anyway - ty for all the welcomes.

*gasp* You came back! I thought you were gone for good...! Nice that you're going to stick around :smile:.

I wonder if "Crushed by a whale" is covered by my life insurance?
Of course not. That'll take all the fun out of it.

Wow. :bugeye:

I was never slapped that hard.

That must hurt.

Yeah, I feel like I got off lightly. Glad it was you that slapped me and not Evo...

So, I guess... Thanks for slapping me with that mackerel, broham.
