        Turn on loop of YouTube puppy videos before running. -- nm - Max Jun 29, 07:44
        
        Hopefully they won't make you do the classes. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jun 29, 07:40 2
        
        I imagine we will have one forthcoming. - Dark Callisto Jun 29, 07:43 1

      - Granted it should last forever assuming it doesn't get ruined in some way, but geez, $40 seems like a lot for a hat. -- nm - Shaun Jun 29, 07:51 1
        
        it is a stupid amount of money for what it is. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 07:56
