Honestly, I don't even know where the fire thing came from, though I'm pretty sure it originated in the now-defunct Thingy thread and infected the rest of the board from there. There was much burning of my poor Integra [hugs it]<br><br>Doesn't the pie thing have an O&M reference too?<br><br>And "sploding" came about when I took a hiatus for school back in January-April (I think). So I don't really know.

Pi divided by 2 equals dinner.<br><br>
I wonder if it'll finally get it's own forum too. I've always wanted a place online where I can talk about O&M.
