[papercreters] Re: Papercrete Building Code Nomination

Some day maybe we can convice Nori to express her feelings and not
hold back so much. YIKES!

Hey. I said I've never used it. Looks like Chris likes WordPress
already. I've never used that either. We aren't all web designer
gurus.

Excuse me while I find my head. It's rolling on the floor somewhere
after it got chopped off. Does somebody have some Neosporin and a
few Bandaids?
