Hmmm! An Oxymoron!

Hey Cool!

As in "Hmmm, let me see now!" or "Hmmm, I really should think this out!"

[OddSox]

This thread started ten years ago. Those members are likely no longer members and the software reverts to calling them guests

So long after I'm dead and buried, I will still be immortalized on TERB!
