I was on chat last night, as I try to be each night whenever I can, and ended up almost falling off my chair. WhoaitsZ, a couple other people, and I were rambling on about something and the next thing I knew, Z came up with something that had me laughing, sputtering, choking, and generally falling apart; one of those "You had to be there" moments, I guess. Anyhow, great fun.
