It's the law.
It definitely is the law! We do the same. In that film clip, the guy says his parents made them wait to pull the crackers til after dessert? What?? No!! |

| It is quite annoying being so fast. I've noticed for many years that my brain is much faster and more agile than most people's.

Exactly. Seeing who can pull hardest on the cracker, laughing at very silly jokes, wearing silly hats and playing the silly games you get in a cracker.
It just adds to the merriment! |

I am getting a lot of Error messages when I try to log in. Yesterday it was saying 'Try again in 59 hours'. Today it's 'you have 4 attempts left to log in.'
I'm used the same password and username I've always had! |

| I got the Horsemen's names from the book Good Omens- War, Plague, Famine, Death. At least I think that's what they were called!

So the 4 horsemen are:
War, Famine, Death and Plague/Pestilence/Disease?
Confusing!
