join the queue, it's about a 4 day trek from here, take lots of food and water, then take a number at the end and you'll eventually get served.

Thanks Stryke, I appreciate the assist. Thanks again. FinalFantasyFanatic, as for you, think before you speak. Don't try and act all sweet and innocent when you have actually done worse things in your career at SR, I'm sure and I've been told the horror stories of your spamming ways.

I know he didn't ask, but I supplied. Sir, I respect you and I don't want to argue with you so I'll just say one thing and I think I have a right to defend myself. It was not a crafty way to put my word count up. I wasn't thinking of word count when I posted that. In fact, word count barely bothers me at all. It's quality, not quantity - am I right? Oh and FinalFantasyFanatic, please shut up! This is not your time to intervene in my conversation here.

POP was made up ages ago by Grix, FM, Meka or someone. Might've been Tony. Anyway, I think it comes from my catchphrase:

{:) "ONCE YOU POP, YOU CAN'T STOP!!" CLASSIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We used to use POP to the TOP, but it's now just POP.

To Firebalt

Not to sound contradictory to what anyone has said, but this what the dictionary defines "idiot" as.

id·i·ot (d-t)
n.
A foolish or stupid person.
A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
