Whether it makes your top list of worst disappointments or not, it’s certainly not what we bargain for when we pick up a cut from [...]

Yeah, great (He says sarcastically) but that means I have to either stay away for 6 or so hours or be locked in the dungeon for the duration of giggly festivities.
