That's funny!
I had to come up with a gif for your and thought I would go with law enforcement and what better than Reno 911. It reminded me of the time you came to Ohio and took me and another dude. I still remember how the ankle and hand cuffs were to tight causing my feet and hands to go numb.

Well, you see, it's like this; how about you shut your face.


Normally, I would thank you. However, perhaps you should be paying mind to a big cup of shut your face.


Keep it classy. Although, I am only 20 minutes into the Getz and Evans album I posted above. So, I'll have about another 40 minutes of bliss until having to listen to something you'll post that will make me want to shove an icepick in my ear 50 to 60 times.
Why wait? Grab an icepick!

Why are you so ineffective? It shouldnt take more than once or twice.


Now now kids, let’s get along, don’t make me put you both in a time out!

@kevgib67 or anyone else that's used it
How do you like the benereef food for corals? Through my research, it's exactly what I want. Im making a bacterial food mix and need a coral food product as a base for the microbacter and flocculant. I have a cart with some in it and thought I'd check with you. It's not supposed to raise nutrients too much with proper use.
Benereef is good and it doesn’t raise phosphates
