All right, I'll bite... snagged from Tish
Tish, I totally agree, I wouldn't do this crap on facebook either. In fact, I'm going to be deleting my account as soon as I get some photo-paper and print off all of the nice photos i'm tagged in. :-D I liked it better when it was more restricted. (and not as cluttered with shit like zombie bites and flaming sacks of $#!+)
