Correct!

Fuck.This.

....and, nevermind.

[C.J.Woolf]

Of course it means I can't use the quote in my own sig. Nice pre-emptive strike, damn you...

[Randall]

I'm still bitter that "Elvish" wasn't the right answer to #48.... bitter I tell you!

[Ace_]

I'm still bitter that "Elvish" wasn't the right answer to #48.... bitter I tell you!

[Hermione]

One of the dangers of hanging out with Nerds. They will always out-geek you. You did pretty damned nerdy on the trivia contest though. srsly For real. I mean I am a loser at Geek.

[Randall]

Congrats LR, and thanks Ferrus, it was lots of fun :happpy:

[C.J.Woolf]
