Sign Hell

Yeah, there were lots of signs at Otakon too. The sign phenomenon is strange indeed... The "Free Hugs" variants were the most popular. Too bad very few cute girls had them, and taking them up on the offer would've no doubt been awkward...

I've always wondered why nobody ever came up with this.
Now that I have my stadium pal there is no more delay or inconvenience for constantly stopping to use the bathroom. It was a little unusual getting used to, but now I find myself urinating right during delivering packages or conversating with people. What people don't know won't bother them!!!!!!! I am always on time and no more bathroom worry. Thank you Stadium Pal........

Shorter and Redmond argued after the 25-year-old former high school football star arrived to intervene and prevent a conflict between the two women.
If been a former high school football star is the best he can manage at 25, I hate him for been able to fuck the beauty queen. I wonder if his name is Al Bundy

Woo! The first and only blocked site I have found in two years of surfing behind Intel's firewall. I wonder what manner of perverse hackery is going on behind the proxy. I bet they're writing code that kills babies using Satan.

I can't believe those are the ones you chose.

I found this interesting, and this for obvious reasons.

For some reason, I liked this, although I don't really know why.

Are you female? Answers

Well, technically, no. But if you are getting technical, I'm really a hermaphrodite with six tentacles and a third nipple.
