Stardate: 108129:1080 - Marina: Better map again, Paly! I just saw a long line of neuters waiting in line at their own bathroom. Gave me flashbacks to the Cantina scene from Star Wars! *shudder*

213031:675 - Rasal: Just think, if you had posted by now then you would have been first. Try again tomorrow.

Stardate: 108232:1706 - Freya: Don't be so humble - you are not that great. --Golda Meir
