- I'm having an affair with my autobiographer. -- nm - Dano Nov 13, 17:47

      - Bicycle? Scooter? - the liioulu with Nov 13, 18:16 2

- Start the draft! -- nm - nubby Nov 13, 17:33
- *bites tongue* -- nm - David Nov 13, 17:32 1

      - No, Toronto was content with grand larceny, not petty theft. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 17:31 3
        
        I was looking for the downside to the trade. -- nm - the liioulu with Nov 13, 17:31 2
