chained_bear Yeah, I've used that before. It's fun. :) Apr 24, 2008
gangerh You probably need to have tried the 'online bubble wrap stress eraser' featured on bubble wrap page and requested a second sheet to fully appreciate what I saw in the format of your ' ... must ... have ... ' comment, chained_bear. Apr 24, 2008
chained_bear Ohhh. OK, well... no, I meant "must have this word." So I added it to some list or other. Innit just the cutest?! So is the little fop tag. Apr 24, 2008
gangerh You quaint it, sionnach, I'll chant it. Well, almost. Apr 24, 2008
gangerh In one, reesetee. With the dots it looked so good I thought 'twas intended. Apr 24, 2008
sionnach Why does this word remind me of a cute mushroom? Apr 24, 2008
reesetee C_b, I think gangerh means that when your comment came up on the comments list, it read "must . . . have" more. :-) Apr 24, 2008
chained_bear uhh... no.... ? Apr 23, 2008
gangerh '... must ... have ...'
Haha, cunning play on the comment feed c_b but shouldn't it be on the bubblewrap page?
