    New paragraphs are not so doable at The Pratt Tribune.

    I hope the Pratt Tribune can make a comeback. NSFW

    Is that headline a Pratt-fall?

    Of course, it does have the truth on its side.

    To add on to unfortunate headline and the need for a new paragraph, look at the second graf and the jump line...

    If it had jumped to page 6, we'd have to close this thread for fear of outing.

    EDIT: And as I take a second look at it, that is one long first graf.

    Whole thread is a d_b. Check the Random Images thread. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

    I'm sure they'll survive the shock of such terrible, awful news.

    Good point. I wrote that because I don’t really like pointing out d_bs. It’s kind of like making fun of a spelling or grammatical error. Years ago, BYM taught me not to do that. Think he called me an asshole or something.

    The dog is the only professional in the group. He never breaks character. Good doggo.
