    for all the puns in this thread!

    I thought this story would be sweet, but it is so overdone.

    I've heard of brownouts, but this is ridiculous!

    So if I run Firefox and refuse cookies, does my computer explode?

    I don't know if I have a virus, or food poisoning.

    I'm partial to the Mary Ann mod.
