Mechanics? In TNE? Don't make me barf! Defective ink spilled on condemned
paper, you mean!
Virus would never happen! HEPlaR is a communist plot to undermine the
morals of our youth! Lasers come out of trios of long, thin, tubes and do
damage at one light second, not lame focal arrays! Fire, Fusion & Steel is
over-reaching by incompetent dilettantes! Aubaine is a stupid French name!
Star Vikings would never work because their horns would break their vacc
suit helmets! Dave Nilsen eats shellfish in months without an R and Frank
paid him to do it!
I throw myself upon the mercy of the Admin.
