I hereby do lay to rest:

A government's job is to disappoint those whom they govern.
A statement made by a friend of mine intending to be satirical...but is completely true in every way.

I replace it with this:

Isn't that a statement made by some...one? I remember reading it while searching up someone's famous quotes. Maybe it's morm's qoute's author. But then there are so many true quotes of that nature about the government that maybe it just sounds similar.

Why yes. It was a statement made by a friend of mine who currently lives in Kentucky.

It probably just sounds similar, or maybe my friend was quoting somebody and I didn't realize it.

Boots The Return to the Past, and thanks to Pitchwife for reviving the thread again

In my excitement about the Ten Year Anniversary Werewolf game, I forgot to properly memorialize the greatest piece of music ever written.

Alas.

Now, however, the game is finished (for over a month now) and I think it fitting, since it had a brief time in the sun (and nearly a year to the day too), to revive...

Forever shall the fame of that game be sung!
