Bit of a heavy lapdog too.

The Pagan Verse mod is basically quotes.

I vandalised the mod for my own use so I can show music related quotes on the forum.

* Old Fossil says don't tell the mods author.

Oh, don't know what to say now.
Hope I did not get to personal.

I like to hear what other people do for a living thinking maybe someday I will find something else to do myself.
