April showers may bring May flowers, but May flowers make my eyes itch. Hopefully, they'll all die in June.
It's June, it's the first Wednesday, come hang and have tiny beers.
You want your eyes to die in June? Long-term, that's probably a bad plan.

By the way, does anyone know anyone who works with leather? I'd like to modify/alter my jacket and would rather give money to a Mefite to do it.

I have never knowingly met another Mefite IRL, but since I work in Pru2, this seems convenient enough that I'll give it a try, grease or no.

He was not amused about some call outs using his real name a week ago or so. I don't know if this is what lead to him hitting the red button. He is on G+ (where all the cool mefites hang out, along with the twitters).

To help prevent hangovers, order a glass of water with each drink (and drink it). This keeps you from getting dehydrated and spaces out your drinks a bit.
