No doubt we would laugh at other planets if we had the opportunity. But we would never laugh at ourselves because we do it the Right Way.

Match those up to the letters in the scrolling text and it all matches up

He really brought things to life with that cartoon. It would have been 90% as good with just half the effort. I very much appreciate the extra 10%.

"Are Gloxians ready for a Purple and Green leader?" Hmm, is that a shout out?





"Rules change ... caught up in committee", ftw, lol.
