[Groop] The Big Fight at the National in NYC

[Mo orst]

Just knowing that there are folks on the list willing to get into a brawl over pop culture (including M.E.!) makes the Groo experience that much more strange and amazing!

I applaud both of you for your zeal... if not your sense of self-control ;)
