Actually I just had another thought... I dont know if this is an issue for anyone else but I dont have full time net access (I find it screws up too much of the rest of my life) so I download all the stories one by one at the pub to read later on, and it would be reeeaaallly handy if there was 1 .rar or .zip that contained all the stories in a group. However I imagine it quite likely that I'm the only person who reads them off line so if no-one else seconds the idea... I'll just shut up.

Don't get me wrong, Utah, I love oatmeal raisin cookies. Just don't put cookies out and try to fake me into eating one, thinking they're chocolate chip, and then BAM, raisins. NOT GOOD. As Avery said, "good way to get punched in the throat." Ah, I like you more and more each day, Avery.

I hate when you pick up a cup, take a pull from the straw and think it's the worst soda you've ever tasted, only to remember you'd filled it with tea instead. Expectation vs reality.

I hate it when you pick up a Dr. Pepper, take a big healthy swig, and then remember that this was the bottle Fritz was using to spit his tobacco juice in.
Did you know that Dr. Pepper and tobacco juice look very similar? They don't taste the same, though.

I haven't had a chance to read a single story yet, so as I do tonight, I'm going to pretend my vote means something more than it really does...like when all those "punk" bands did that Punk Voter thing in 2003-2004 and backed John Kerry, a staple of the punk rock community, and then every manic-panicked, anarchy-patch wearing NOFX fan got out and registered to vote.
Except that my votes tonight will be way more important (not to mention way better informed).
