@Benedick: Oh good, thought it was just me.
@Capt Howdy: Perhaps if they can’t pass the test they have to watch the movie?
@Mistress Cynica: I’m so like duh?
@Benedick:

ADD: Okay, that sounded a little mean. Just teasing you, Limey. You know how deep my affection for you runs.
Are you a horror fan, my man? AWESOME. Me too.
@Tommmcatt is hunkered down in the trenches:
