"if i see libertarians, i generally run screaming from the thread, so i miss alot that way....Ya know, that kinda behavior doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
If you go running from a thread at the first sense of a librarian, how ya ever gonna get your book in their slot?
Besides, you can't gag 'em with a spoonerism, can you?

just as soon as we convince XS that we can't allow clothing (bathing suits, G-strings, etc.) in the beer vat - the dyes and stuff pollute the beer and make it unhealthy.

no, caps are not allowed either.
I prefer the coquettish taste of nude bathing in the beer vat. don't you? Especially since we had the viewport installed...
