I like this name of the choices. Not everything that is in off-topic.fun
is necessarily funny. It's the intent that matters, people posting there

BTW, if you want to be on it, go here: http://quotes-r-us.org/ It's run
by a LegoManiac, and the quotes are pretty funny. Somewhat collegiate,
but hey, I was young once too.

are mine? I'm just an instigator, I guess.

| (...) Hmm, a group like that could certainly be a lot of pun. Actually, I think people have secretly been lusting after this for months.
