I hope the Codger show begins on time. He had a terrible tussle this morning with Gus Bodenheim and had to have his dentures adjusted. The Poligrip is still settling.

And yet... Fablio still has a show. Where is the justice?
Avatar 3:37pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Well, according to a widely publicized "study," Fablio is not a menace to society.

Perhaps not a menace, but surely a hazard.
