    - Yeah, but then the room is 1/128 of an inch smaller! -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 11:01

  - It's light and fluffy charming fun. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 10, 11:27
  - It wasn’t great, for sure, but I remember enjoying it well enough. -- nm - znufrii Aug 10, 11:18 1

  - -50 sycor points -- nm - sycor Aug 10, 10:55 4
    - Did I lose the points just now or way back in 2007? -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 10, 11:17 3
      - I'll be generous and just say now instead of 50 for then and 50 for now. -- nm - sycor Aug 10, 11:44 2
        
        Yeah, compounding interest is a pain. -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 11:45 1

- Please be a Secret Service agent. -- nm - Max Aug 10, 10:34 1
  - I never really thought about it, but Trump may actually *fear* his detail (even before this). - Spawn Aug 10, 11:25
- I mean the interesting thing is that the primary purpose was just to get the classified documents. Apparently they had been in discussions for months - pmb Aug 10, 10:31 4
  - Well, *he* did make it a felony to do such a thing, so... -- nm - Spawn Aug 10, 11:20

    - They needed those documents to give to the Jan 6th investigation. Ovvie. -- nm - Qale As Folk Aug 10, 10:40
  - Similar read here. Hoping they press charges since it took so long, they had to resort to this, and now the clustermess it's become. -- nm - VMan Aug 10, 10:33

        tbh, I don't know what any of this stuff tastes like. Zero concept of it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 10:40 2
        
        limoncello is basically lemon syrup with booze. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 10:41 1
        
        vodka tastes like nothing. Rum is vaguely fruity. Gin, herbal and flowery. Tequila, smoky and vegetal. -- nm - Reagen Aug 10, 10:43
      - The good one. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 10, 10:23
