TheSeventhJedi: Ian Anderson.

trixie360: If they made a movie about your life, who should play you?

TheSeventhJedi: Rocko, from Rocko's Modern Life. "Laundry day is a very dangerous day."

There should be an achievement for the Heel Stab.

TheSeventhJedi: The ability to convince my students to do their homework on time!
