Also, I just planted strawberries yesterday. The fertilizer is supposed to be applied every four months, but I'm impatient, so I gave them the full year's dose all at once. I fully expect giant mutant strawberries that try to eat you as you walk by. If this does not happen, I will be very, very disappointed.

but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...

Your strawberries might wind up hung over when their chemical high wears off.
I suggest buying a few dozen pairs of tiny sunglasses.

So you're saying the revolution will be led by the chronically hung-over?
Hopefully the mods don't make any loud noises.

I'll set up the speakers and blast the 1812 Overture to make sure you are all paying attention, just because I care.

If you insist on unexpected explosions, I suggest the revolutionaries make beans the official food of the revolution.

So that the revolutionaries have a perfectly legitimate and scientifically proven explanation for their "unexpected explosions" ... while the mods are left with no reasonable excuse for their own?
Fantastic suggestion BigWords! ![]() We'll get right on that!

I am a procrastinator, but I think we should try and launch a full blown offensive on the "New Members" thread.
Eh, we can do it tomorrow.

You guys can barely get the revolution moving here, never mind anywhere else...

I have to ask... Did you learn how to say such wonderfully sweet and respectful things in Mod School or was it just the natural product of an idle bourgeois mind? *wink wink*

There's an intensive training course.
Very complex. And I resent that comment. I'm neither wonderful nor sweet.
