You drive us wild. We'll drive you crazy.
I have practiced hard to ensure that when I pronounce GIF the sound I make feels like it is halfway between /g/ and /dʒ/.

Hey, @LittleKagsin! Just a heads up. There was a Reddit thread about Artisan Dice and how shitty they are about getting people their orders. So I posted a link to the Shapeways page. Hope it gives a bump to the dice selling.
Oh, thank you! That's awesome.
That's lovely.
They've been pretty good, in our experience.We get a teeny paycheck from them every couple of months from Nate's account, it would be awesome to have it be a more regular thing.

But the long and short of it is that the creative team as it exists doesn't like the characters as they have been written, and so change things using the multiverse as an explanation for the sudden change in characterization. However, if you have multiverses then you must have multiverse police, and these are called Monitors. There are 52 universes, and 52 monitors.
This lasted for a decade or so, then the creative team changed enough that they wanted to erase history again and start fresh, so they used another plot point to do so, and everything has changed again, but the basic multiverse with its 52 universes and 52 monitors still exists, though now new multiverses can exist inside the multiverse in little bubbles so you can have multiverses that aren't the same as the main multiverse. So if a writer wants to explore something completely different that won't affect history or change the "real" characters they can explore it in a sandbox of sorts that exists apart from reality.
At least that's my take on it, having never read any of them and only skimming wikipedia, so chances are I'm completely wrong and you've wasted seconds reading this baseless series of assumptions.

Someone used Tang instead of water when making our rice tonight.
It was an adult in our house who isn't me.

And just think, he's in charge of children!
Recycled Tang for you.

Asian cultures in general tend to be pretty darn racist, even where other Asian cultures are concerned.
I don't get it. I wouldn't buy that. I hate when my laundry gets stained yellow.
Pep rally schedules are great. A whole hour with zero chance of kids coming into the library.
Lunch is right after, though, and we're getting into textbook-return time, so sadly this peace will be short-lived.
