Finally a pair. :D

And now how are we going to go back to normal after a week of Quickfire Turbospeed? >.>

From:

chaosvizier.livejournal.com

I'm glad you got a pair. It's good to have a pair. People respect that sort of thing.

If you need help adjusting to

ljdq's return to slower quiz production methods, we recommend some Ambien, some Valium, and some Red Bull. Take with dinner and a Benadryl. We'll see you in the New Year.

Though named daily, it is weekly. Behold the first mystery.
