Is Jeff behaving now…?
Where is Rurik..??
Jeff is behaving, but buyer beware. A leopard does not change its spots.
Rurik’s wife put a choke collar and a muzzle on him. Last seen growing uncontrollably on Evergreen Place but unable to speak the word VOCALANTI
Give it a rest. You complain when Jeff was nasty and you complain when he not.
No one complained when Jeff was nice. He was voted in on a big win. But then he turned into someone completely different. So some caution now, per 1:00 pm, is in order. Hoping he stays pleasant and productive. We shall see.
