My will, as it were.
To Zek, get over the fucking kittens man.

To RisiR, you'll always be my favourite hater.

To -SpectraL, you're one of the only people here who can insult Arnox without ramming it down his throat.

To Arnox, fuck you.

Had a friend who used to insist "it's DRUNK driving, not driving while DRINKING!"

Because it's driving whilst under the influence of drink.
