<Clockmaker> But in Glasgow, you communicate via semaphore by waving drunks in different-colored tracksuits?
<Evil Catullus> I think waving drunks in tracksuits would get me fired.
<Old_New> You're employed?
<Evil Catullus> Yes. I work with the surly, unfriendly youth
<Rancid_Pickle> Oh, I didn't know you were in politics, EC.
EDB wakes up long enough to sniff Rancid_Pickle.

<Stasik> That was horrible, but at least there's only one rancid pickle
