[GCFL-discuss] Axioms

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

That's so much BS that they do that Insufficient Funds charge, it's so

Thanks to my college experience I know how to live on very little ... sadly
that means being stuck in the apartment doing nothing but computer games and
looking for work. Sucks, but I'm not spending money.
