Gus, you own me a new keyboard!

I must be misunderstanding you. I've never before seen someone recommend hypocrisy before without it being essentially sarcastic.

In other breaking news, the sun rose in the east, and there's a chance of rain in Seattle, while gravity still points down.

Seriously though, major grats.

Gravity points down? Why do I need a seatbelt to keep me grounded then?

Since I probably won't be on the site over the weekend (very busy weekend and holiday planned):

Happy 4th to all y'all 'Mericans!

Happy "Good Riddance to America Day" to you Brits.

Have a nice weekend to everyone else.

🙂
