Enjoy, but this time I wouldn't be leaving Corky in a bar with strange writers.
Going to miss this one after three years in a row. Nobody talks to me if Les isn't there and he said he has too many outstanding warrants and angry husbands.
Uh-huh. TFA wins an award and now he's too good for the peons. At least the people staying in what would have been the rooms on either side of you and LEs will be able to get some sleep.
