   I don’t know why I find this so humorous, but I do.

   On a side note, can’t believe your site is already listed in Google if you search for friedrolled.

   A shameless pimp, but I forgive you. I sense I coming fury of comments though.

   I wonder how quickly you could become the #1 search result for “alveyroll”.

   I have no idea what an alveyroll actually is, but I hope it has avocado.

   Alveys love avocado.
