BE AFRAID this moment brought to you by the following quote:


<PatPandaHat> I keep expecting him to come on one night babblign away
like the last survivor of a zombie apocalypse.
<PatPandaHat> "She's outside the DOOR! I can't hold her back! Somone,
anyone who can get this message, send COPS, please!"
