I love you all. Here's to never forgetting what we went through.
And don't forget to laugh, either - that's what most of this shit was about.

The Vogons Are Here (And they have the Guide!)
The International Lyrics Server (currently down & accused of copyright infringment, but boy was it useful)
The Lost IB History Episodes I guess you need to have had IB History with Mr. Early (and probably with the people who wrote the stories) to understand these stories, but they remind me of stories I wrote in 7th grade in which we regularly had our enemies eaten by giant bugs, forgot about it, then killed them off again, and went shopping. Was I a troubled child?
