THis is like screech congratulating Urkel for a clever retort. In fact, comparing me to the Rev. Collins just proves my point.

That's a good line. This combined with your Andrew Webber smackdown ... its a good day for you. Both were far superior to your original P/P smack which was actually fairly weak since it tried to impute 21st century values to early 19th century characters.

Your knowledge of early 1990s teenage sitcoms is truly impressive but somewhat disconcerting, Creek.
