What do you take me for? We invaded them 35 minutes ago!

Which you would be doing, except you've found it more worthwhile to read Slashdot or play Angry Birds or whatever is it you're doing. So please go lecture another site. Should, could, would, but you don't "do".

Boo hoo hoo. We can't hear you from the other side of the slave pits. Please, grovel a little louder and fer Pete's sake, more tears. That access point ain't cheap!
