Thanks. I didn't know I missed the running gag from The Other Place until you posted this here.

I was going to reply to this with a decidedly-not-witty GIF of Rico Suave, only I was deeply disappointed at the lack of Rico Suave GIFs. So, now I just feel old and I'm going to sulk for a while.

But if you take Bart's "Nooooooo!" and apply it, it still works in this instance.

NGL when I heard this was decided earlier today I did immediately check your account to see if you had posted anything about it.

Don't worry, Ken. We're always happy to talk about other wholesome things, such as 4E D&D.

We need a version of this with RICO rather than Harmless Error https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/uploads/asset/file/0c9978b1-5cff-4145-bdf9-8b5407dea796/IMG_2680.jpeg
