And there you have it. This week's theme was citrus fruits, because summer seems like the time to sit down with some lemonade, or have a gin and tonic with lime, or to kill people if your nickname is OJ. Also, if it's almost winter where you are, you might be missing summer's citrusy touch. Or maybe this theme has nothing to do with anything, just like most of our other themes. This would have been the part where I posted a bunch of pics of AL's face contorting as she ate a super-sour Warhead candy, but my doctor told me I had to be nice this week because my meanoglobin count was too high.

Thanks to all our players, and especially our new players this week! Hope you enjoyed, and of course we hope you come back again! Tell your friends! Bring a posse! We're cool!

Special cheers to

trishalynn, who is taking a break from the moderator group because, alas, real life is so time-consuming. Thanks for all the help, and remember: you can still come by and visit! And by visit we mean play.

See everyone else tomorrow, same bat-time, same bat-channel!
