Notable Memes and Happenings

- Zippo-Tricks McEdgelord
- Highlight from Ben's descriptions of Planeswalker cards. [20]

- Katiee 💗
- Tally turned the tables and gave Kathleen a makeover, which lasted till the latter's shift total topped $40,000. [23] (And then the controller stopped working as soon as Kathleen returned to her customary black.)
