Phillip, you were a good opponent in chess.

We must first insert a warmup slice to bring the toaster coils up to tenperature to ensure that the difference in initial temperatures does not affect the results.

Does Pacific Rim count? I suppose that's not really about the hole.

Rat, you're our most active FG user, both here and in the old forum. It's always fun when you play in a thread.

I've been dealing with depression lately, so to get some more positivity in my life, I've made this thread.

Say something nice about the poster above you.

There is nobody above me, but that doesn't mean they're a nobody! They have friends, just like anyone else!

Sounds like the consensus is to do both. I'll get on that.

Seven has messaged me about getting post review abilities so that they can get mafia invites onto the forum faster. Currently I'm inclined to give it to them, although I'd rather have Ratammer for this role because they are much more active. What are the people's thoughts on this request? Good/bad i...

This hurt to read.

That's a shame, they were such an icon of vowel/vowel marriages.

Is this really falling off the front page?

I was thinking sushi.

Don't mind me, just testing some site configuration stuff.

I would test this but I don't know where to find a hair dryer.
