Welcome to MadROM's home - still running after all these years. I know you're not running like you used to, weary traveler, but we have to take what we can get. You may remember this land from your early college days, before you got drunk and high 24/7. You may remember the many now-cliched internet arguments we all either loved or hated, including hated to love and loved to hate (yes, this was always someone else's fault, SPITZKA).
