Normally I think of something witty to say up here, but right now I can't. So I think I'll just jump right in.

First of all, the poll has been moved to a separate column, due mainly to the buttloads of responses that you people were kind enough to provide us. We can't thank you enough. I feel like we've reached out and touched people.

I'm starting to feel kinda strange...

GROUP HUG!!!

Okay. Now then:

Okay. Let me see if I've got this straight. You're making an expensive electronic device to do something that I can do with a penny for free. Unfortunately, nobody's buying it. In an effort to get sales up, you spammed all the mechanics with a promotional e-mail, hoping that some of us were vacant enough to pimp your product for free.

Um.

NO.

Bob, you can take this idea of yours and shove it right back where it came from...

Good Christian??? WHERE?? *looks around*

The trouble is that there are currently approximately 65,536 definitions of what a good Christian is. Of course, the evidence suggests that many "Christians" join the religion simply for the ego trip and for the satisfaction of thinking themselves superior to others. (No offense to the rest, of course.) That's a big part of what turns me off.

As for the Sandshrew, I don't know. He seems happy, but in reality he should be screaming with pain. Maybe they're all masochistic Sandshrew. That would explain why they're looking for water in the first place.

"Heh-heh, he said boobies"

"Shut up, Beavis"

"Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh"

<sarcasm> Gee, isn't that exciting? </sarcasm>

Okay, I have the perfect deck for you...

4 Base Zapdos
4 Charizard
4 Blaine's Arcanine
48 Fire Energy

Or... no, wait! Mulli-Mewtwo would be better yet, because you can Barrier the first turn, and energy removals can never help you!

Geez. I'm sorry, but I simply dislike people who mess up the game. C'mon people! Play by the rules!

Oh, gee. Well, I'm sure playing against you must be a lot of fun. In that case, forget Mewtwo-- Jigglypuff is the ultimate staller.

Umm. Sorry, man. I hope you learn that playing the real game can be fun. Until then, I'm not sure what I can do to help you.

It's in his column. Always has been.

Thankfully, that's all for this week. *groan*

SPIKE'S RANDOM THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Hmm. I don't seem to have a random thought for today. Not that I don't have a lot of random thoughts flashing around in my head, but most of them are completely unprintable. At least one of them involves Pikachu and a hot tub full of Cool Whip. So I think I'll just keep them to myself, k?
