For those of you Anti-ZMFer's out there, I should point you to the war of words between ZMF and Bee Man (aka Bee Man Caught in a Sting). In the end Bee Man felt he came out on top (if such a thing can be an outcome in an internet war of words).

Doesn't the "chocolate" from an advent calendar always taste like wax?

Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

Guys- This was all settled by That Guy With Hair in one of the comment threads above.
