They make a lot of good points, especially linking to that Game of Thrones episode. Still, I don’t think I’m ever gonna give it up.

You got me hook line and sinker. And then I loled.

[Mark_Sniadecki]

Oh thank goodness… I was really afraid this was serious.

[jansob1]

Awesome. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta go down to the hospital to get the hook line and sinker removed.
