[TheForge] Ceramic Chip Forge Workshop? (OT--why does it always go this way?)

[Justin Fellenz]

My friend, this is America. Our great constitution guarantees that you
free to ball all the melons you like, regardless of what your
neighbors, the press, or even our President may think of such pursuits.
It would be an infrigement on your rights to even ask what your balling
preferences are, as long as you and the melon have reached the age of, 
uh, consent...or ripeness.

Enjoy.
