Good evening everyone, and welcome to another installment of Top Comments!
Comment pimps, random snark, Top Tigers, serious discussion, late-night rants, and advice for the love-lorn a house specialty. And as always: guaranteed 100% subjective for your protection! Remember, this is just what I saw; contributions of anything I missed are heartily encouraged. Post 'em in the comments below and tell me how much I suck for missing them! C'mon, it's fun! :)
Join us over the fold, won't you?
