I think I learned something. When people try too hard to win at something, they often do things they regret. We mustn't get too caught up with winning some petty prize, or beating your opponents. Instead, we should show eachother respect, and dignity. I hope all of you will take this to heart, as I have.

Originally posted by Moldy CrowHow could you cancel the "get stuffed?" You only told me to get stuffed once. But if you want to cancel it, I'd feel better, and be a happy walrus.

However, I've posted lots of random text before, and no one's complained. Count your blessings, this one was at least in English. Plus, if you read some of them carefully, you may be richer a thing that's worthless, yet everyone wants. Scavenger hunt! Hey, that gives me an idea, why don't we have a RHP scavenger hunt? What a great idea, Andrew. You must plan.
