Oh, I was gonna say the opposite!
Concern was raised about Cavalry Betrayal's quote not being indicative enough, so here are a couple from the quotes page that might be clearer.
I've hated the quote on Perpetual Motion Machine for a while; it needs a note to explain it, which is distracting at best. How's this one?
Suggestion for And You Thought It Was Real:
Also, for the love of everything, pull the quote from Older Sidekick. It means absolutely nothing.

All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.Regarding PS 5: I say revert.
