Date: 2011-06-23 05:24 am (UTC)I don't know if I can pick a favorite lulzy moment. EVERYTHING CARL EVER DID, EVER? Saya not even realizing it when she's getting *~seduced by Rasputin~* and letting a girl down easy with, "Uh, if you're lonely there are people in that town over there??" David becoming an alcoholic hobo and being cured overnight? I DON'T KNOW.
