- the Evony ads have escalated to the point where ST is not work safe. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:33 5

You know, if you murder someone on a cruise ship, you just have to throw them overboard and claim that they disappeared. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 22, 16:19 1

        speaking of...Brooke White's album came out yesterday. -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 22, 16:37
