We are making fun of OURSELVES.

Like the way I always make fun of Philadelphia because I live near there. :3

If you're going to post here, you should really think about playing the TBG.

Seattle, Washington has a space needle, and so does Toronto.

Anyways, 8/10

"Where are all the McDonald's? (McDonalds? McDonalds's's?? Who knows what the plural of McDonald's is...) And what's this 'Tim Horton's' place that I seem to be seeing everywhere?)
good morning, SMF!

Fun Fact: Exposure to excessive blue light at night can harm sleep, because blue light tells your brain that it's daytime. To avoid this, I HIGHLY recommend a little program called f.lux. It makes your display warmer at night when the sun sets, reducing blue light exposure at night. Click here to get f.lux. Apparently a small study from Brigham Young University is casting doubt on this old belief, I'll have to keep an eye on this and see if it's reproduced by a larger study/studies. I'll still probably use f.lux even if it is just a placebo because looking at a bright blue screen in a room lit with a warm-white light is kinda obnoxious.
