Best at wrecking a perfectly good thread with snide remarks: Jiggers

[Jiggers]

Well..I don’t sugarcoat my train of thoughts like most people do. But if you want a real honest opinion about something(other than me), I’ll be glad to help you out.:)

We don’t have an explicit rule against wanton threadwrecking but I am considering one, thoughts welcome. Meantime, remember the “ignore this user” feature. Its one bug (if that user is the last to post in a thread, you may lose the whole thread temporarily) remains unfixed but it may still be of help.

bunnypug – I can’t believe that Bizarro’s is still around!!! We used to go there a lot when we first moved to Seattle 20 years ago. Is it still at the same location in Wallingford?
