  - Hali was the top of their list for last year. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 20, 14:45 3

      - I'm not sure if it would irk me -- I can be pretty oblivious -- but I do think it's better if stuff like that should be shut-off-able. -- nm - mara Jun 20, 14:43
      - A lot of stuff seems to irk you. *shrug* - kelly Jun 20, 14:40 3
        
        Well, it would give me the heebie-jeebies. I don't know where that dude is. -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 14:47
