Happy Victoria Day! In honour of Queen Victoria, there will be no sex in today's update.


Especially in the champagne room.


On a related topic, the server move is currently underway, and this site will be changing over soon. Antony says he'll give me at least a day's notice, and I'll pass that notice on to you when it arrives. The biggest change will be to our forum, which is switching from phpbb to vBulletin; there may be a day or two of downtime during the changeover. On the bright side, we should see a marked decline in people hacking into our server to host illegal movie files....

The woman had, like, 9 kids. I'm sure she was familiar with the concept.

if it were in honour of Queen Sophia, the update would have no legs.

Yay for everyone who lives in Canada!

Shoo.

(Just kidding. Happy Victoria Day, everyone!)

So, Australia celebrates our Queen's birthday, and Canada celebrates Queen Victoria, and we celebrate...umm...that thing with the hot cross buns?

Happy Victoria Day, whatever

Couldn't we honour Queen Neferneferuaten-Nefertiti instead? She's much prettier. Even if she is missing one eye.

I can't decide which pun to smack you for. Congratulations on getting two into the space of one, though.
