I know, I know. But when you're sitting in a cold, empty server lab at 9 PM, and you'd rather be home with a bottle of wine and your girlfriend, you do what you have to do in order to amuse yourself.
 

This is really funny but I can't think of anything that the admins wouldn't slap me for. If you want hilarity to ensue, you should post this over on RPGnet.
