Or, would I receive a for posting that I was pissed off that Jayden's shell-suit had caught on his baby sister's earring, and now he would get effing freezing in the beer garden?

It's a fucking mine-field. I thought it was just a bear.

I have nothing to add, other that I'm going on a hunt

other than

Thanks Id wanted to know as well.

X-post with Trillian.

Have now read the link.

I am still recovering. I am awe struck by the genius of the thread. I will NEVER feel worthy of using the bear.

As you were...I've got some lurking to get back to.
