Yeah. They're a really very interesting firm. AND it looks like they've got an office in Baltimore. Might have to take a stop by

Looks like it'll vaporize the unworthy if they approach with malicious intent in their hearts.

This discussion sounds like it could be the basis for an episode of Metalocalypse.

I decided that I should learn to touch type since I currently do a sort of hunt and peck type of thing with my index and middle fingers that only gets me like 40-50 WPM. Downloaded the original Mario Teaches Typing. Best game ever, by which I mean, terrible game, probably ok teaching aid, and glorious DOS-age music. Now my pinkies hurt because I usually never type with them.

Wowza! I always had an inappropriate 13 year old boy to 18 year old cousin sort of crush on your viscous Care Bear one, but that, that is amazing.
I can't help but think I'll start confusing you with Colin now.
Change of subject: I dreamt up an entire movie last night. It was like Wes Anderson meets Arrested Development. The main character was this cynical goth kid named Safe who was reflecting on a period of his life a la A Christmas Story. His rather affluent, but sensible, down-to-earth father is on an inevitable track towards financial ruin which is exacerbated by them moving into a mansion in suburbia and an increasing number of absurd relatives moving in with them to mooch off him including two great aunts who wear the largest, floweriest, most distracting "black-lady-in-her-Sunday-best" hats (one of whom was played by Maggie Smith), a number of older Paris Hilton wannabe cousins who often buy absurd unnecessary luxuries custom fitted and made by highly stereotypical European men. Oh, and there was a character with a name that I literally could never make sense of (which is actually kind of funny in itself), but the character literally was Gob from Arrested Development. As in, he was played by Will Arnett, was constantly seeking his father's approval, and did horrible card tricks.
Two other significant things I remember were when many of the more ridiculous relatives were introduced (typically they just kind of show up presumptuously) they would say their name and then the name would briefly flash in highly stylized neon light somewhere in the background. Also, the very end of the movie involved a full on assault by the IRS who were actually little toy army men Red Coats (as in 1770's British soldiers), and they sang some little song about "We're from the IRS, we'll take all your things and cash." Then they pretty much just destroyed everything in a satisfyingly horrible stop-motion sequence.
Other specific scenes I remember involve Safe experiencing some serious sexual...whatever being around his hot blonde cousins in their pool despite them literally paying no attention to him. Also there is a scene where Safe proposes a very depressing, dramatic tragedy play to the two aunts who scoff at him and say they wanted to do something more like the story of George Washington or something more socially conservative.
Then I had another dream that I told my dad about my dream...weird...

There's a few around. Not many are good enough instrumentally to make it worth having to hear the shitty vox. I wish Wormed would get a more conventional death metal vocalist. I'd like them a lot if it wasn't for the vox.
