13. Just narrowly avoided spewing vermouth on my keyboard
Damn, this site is dangerous.

And my newest exciting poll news about your campaign is burning up GDP, BTW, as it rockets at light-speed to below-the-fold obscurity.

It's a fun forum, GDP. Can't wait for the primaries!

14. Wha...?
Why hasen't Laurab informed me of this?

Worried about the future level of discourse in GDP? Didn't you know? I worked out a deal with Skinner: vote for Wetz-Kuro or get tombstoned. See? No more fights in GDP.

Well, more like no more GDP at all.
