Global warming has ended. After a record-setting warm week here in SoCal, today we're down to normal almost-as-warm-but-a-little-cooler-than-last-week temperatures. Glaciation may now resume.

So why is everyone fucking with MY contribution? I figured everyone would say "yay".

 Fine then.

 From now on, there'll be so much fuckin spam; you'll have to connect to your webmail and start downloading when you wake up so it'll all be finished by bedtime.


 and a full two-thirds will be old, still circulating Obama Campaign ads.  :x

I'll bet if you eat it, you see God.

LOL! As opposed to . . . ?  Naturally separated? Court-ordered separated? Explosively separated? Vehicularly separated?

 * I know it says that (mechanically separated) on the can...*
