My issues was NOT that what you said was outlandish. I get it, I get where the feeling is coming from. But then you practically bashed someone for something ALSO outlandish and would never happen. I just don't appreciate having my intelligence called into question because I choose to read a pop culture book or the totally baseless opinion that <em>most people</em> don't know what eugenics is. And yes, it was my intelligence brought into question too because both were total blanket statements.

Kinda like a prune. He doesnt' do well in our environment/atmosphere so he starts slowly dying and drying out. Basically from grape to raisin type thing.

I can't believe I missed all this. I've been getting a mani and pedi.
If I remember correctly I think the new bump board was named by posters on the IF board or something like that. I can't remember the exacts.
