Someone's subconsious is whispering, "IRC...I need IRC.."

And you also know you are a CBGer when you post something actually hoping for a response by a glowing wax utensil, a turtle, a wandering programmer, a dimunitive snack, a horned fish, or one of the other maniacal menagerie.  

Not to mention reading the poetry of the woodland dwelling snack.
