    I think you should do at least 5 every month. In fact I think you should be locked in a room and made to produce Monkey Island tributes, Monday Kerr episodes and musicals endlessly 'till the end of time.

    That's what I think.

    Once she's old enough to understand I'm gonna show her the 1st MI as proof that Root Beer Kills Ghosts. Now all I got to do is figure out how to prepare her for the Boogieman. :D

    P/S: No kids yet? I'm surprised, you sound like a keeper to me:p

    Yes, grog is a real drink but in the context of you going to a bar and asking for grog, they look at you like your retarded, and making grog I was referring
    to this recipe.

    water, light rum, grapefruit juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, cinnamon, and honey.

    -You played the first chapter of TOMI the DAY IT CAME OUT even though you had just gotten 4 teeth pulled and your face felt like it just got hit by a truck

    Same here :D Also, the excitement when you meet a 'real life' fan. It's like striking oil.
