+Green Achers Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Rumor has it that Doug's been going around asking complete Muggle's to solve certain puzzles. I think that's about the funniest thing I've heard in a while. Speaking of Fun... Who's going to join us at the MAC Gathering in two weeks? They've been telling me I just can't miss this one.
