Well done...and for those of you who actually believe there is more to life
than 30ish bespectacled bald men who claim to be academics while hiding
behind their laptops writhing in despair from their meager lives please
remember this - humor is good for you.
I am sure that those of you bitching and moaning about the dozen or so posts
about off-topic bands had plenty to say regarding the BoC thread. Hate to
say it, but it's a dead issue, let's please move on. My apologies to those
offended.
In the immortal words of Bobby McFerrin - "Don't worry, be happy."
