    It's actually a standard CP meme in reference to a long forgotten incident, but the effect is to send Chris into paroxysms of Lycra clad angst rage. Every time someone posts this, Chris loses a hair. Before this started, this[^] was a picture of Chris. This[^] is what he's been turned into by it.

                Any word on a proper Aussie version? American "spelling" is bad enough, but to have our only other choice to include, I assume, terms used by a culture that thinks Chicken Tikka Marsala is gourmet? Fair dinkum...
