Morning everyone, Ninjames here. Just got through playing some Xbox and realized - oh hey - I've gotta get the Nuggets done. So no real, tangible sleep-deprivation themed excuses today, I've got to go with quick links again due to my own irresponsibility. I'm pretty OK with it as it happens, you guys will survive. We had a lot of links yesterday, not sure what we've got going on today, so we'll find out together. Enjoy.
