How do you think they ended up with Fallon in the first place?

Please. It's pronounced GIFK.

Or, god help her, Battleworld A&M.

Why not just make it CSyber?

2016 me is already outraged at Squeakma's criminal Oscar snubs.

Anytime you have a memorial reel where you legit don't know who'll get the hammer slot, it's a tough year.
