    The powers that be have informed me that despite my love of the term "Droop Snoot", I'm not allowed to just have the description of this episode be the words "Droop Snoot" repeated over and over again. The lack of ability to spam "Droop Snoot" on the front page wasn't a decision of Vangelus', who particularly enjoys the words "Droop Snoot". The "Droop Snoot" discussion was specifically the cause of "Droop Snoot" expert Aaron, who brought the "Droop Snoot" to the table, and the constant use of the words "Droop Snoot" was not impeded by TJ this month either.
