Do not cut vinny off from the internet. He has at least 700 LiveJournals/Blogs of other people's FFXI characters on other FFXI servers to read about, discuss, comment and chat on irc about everyday. This is on top of writing, reading, reviewing fanfics for FFXI, anime, and pasta. Plus the 4-5 hours of anime downloading and ftp managing. oh, and work too. :lol:

<3 Vinny.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

Thanks for the heads up! I will try to remember to adjust my capitalization habits accordingly.

Nine male smallmouth bass taken from the Potomac near Sharpsburg, about 60 miles upstream from Washington, were found to have developed eggs inside their sex organs.
...
The Potomac River is the main source of drinking water for the Washington metropolitan area and many upstream communities. It provides about 75 percent of the water supply to the 3.6 million residents of Washington and its Maryland and Virginia suburbs.
I recommend bottled water only for Jason, George, and maybe Vinny. I doubt this'll make Vinny any more confused than he is already though...

Hah, for once it doesn't suck to be living in Baltimore rather than DC. We get our water from other rivers (the Patapsco or Patuxent, I can never remember which is which).

Edit: Of course I drank that white sludge in the CMU water for four years without a filter. But I think that was simply toxic, rather than mutagenic.

Yep, I only drink filtered or bottled water. Also, I only drink alcohol when I go into DC. 8)

I think someone needs to script automagic backups of our forum so we can recover easier from getting hit by something like this...
