I'm a moderate when it comes to that debate. Perhaps the only thing on which I am a moderate

My senior paper in linguistics was entitled "The Boomhauer Effect," which basically made that case that the purpose of language is effective communication, and that rules can be broken in informal, familiar settings (as they often are), but in formal, unfamiliar settings, one should adhere to usage that will maximize your ability to be understood by the most number of people (Linguistic Utilitarianism, heh), unless you are purposely trying to be cryptic (Like in Mafia, ha).

I got an A.

Well, that's blatantly wrong. Dictionary makers have gotten sloppy.

Sorry to spoil your fun, llama, but Merriam-Webster also agrees with Golden. So it goes.

That's acceptable, since this is the first ever (and thus only) Game of Champions Night 0. :P

Oh, huh. What?

I'm sorry, I'm still listening to atrociously recorded bullshit.

Why, yes I am working on the third Epignosis album. Why do you ask?

"Watari" option. Click on that. Click submit.

I don't know if this Macdougall instinct thing is legit or not, but I'll be impressed if it is!

I was gonna be a smart ass but halfway into this post I realized I only won Biblical because my win condition was "you win the game lol"
