Looks delicious, you get a vote from me! I've always wanted to eat a flying spaghetti monster. By the way, I'm Matt's little brother Ian. I met you a couple of times when I was like, fifteen.

This makes me miss living with you.

[tinysandwiches]

Yes, but do you miss the baked goods or the wee-hours-of-the-morning Boggle games?

[pokiespout]

Can't it be both? But this gives me a brilliant idea which I am passing along to you. EDIBLE BOGGLE. Make it happen. Seriously.
