    That's a perfect example of why I despise the grifters on Twitter. Twifters? Griftwits? Eh, maybe something will stick. Indy's post is the kind of bread crumb we love to be privy to, so we can analyze and theorize and feel more connected to the program and each other. It's what makes this...

    Also would like Texas in Dallas/SanAnt or Florida in Orlando. Good destinations for a long weekend trip to wear the Orange. The real Orange, not that crispy brown kind in Austin

    If you're a fan, and somehow don't know about or haven't seen Zero Hour, watching it makes Airplane an entirely different experience altogether.

    But, but, according to torvik rostercast we're ranked 53! Waaahh! I think you are correct. I trust the staff, and I trust our insiders who are literally relaying to us the value seen in the newcomers by the staff. There is no algorithm smart enough to even scratch the surface of what the staff...
