Or, that he was aware of the plot.

Or, that he had something else big going on in his life.

Remember, premature conclusions based on limited data are often wrong.

Or, maybe he was just lying to his mom to get out of going to lunch with her. I do the same thing to my mom all the time!

I do the same thing to your mom too, ColdChef. Tell her to stop calling me. It was a one night thing, ferchristsake.

I'd like to apologize to ColdChef and to humanity at large for the above comment. I just can't resist an easy "yo mamma" joke. And boy is yo mamma easy.

the correct follow up to Optamystic is "can we get off the mom jokes, because i just..." but this WILL NOT turn into a mom joke thread.

seriously though, would you be a proud mom if that was your son?

No, I would not be proud if Optamystic was my son...
