Thanks for hosting - the Poe question (#1) is validating for a number on the form for me.

Re: The Olympics.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm groggy today.

As pointed out, 2026 hasn't been awarded yet. So you can give me the host city for any of the following:
Past: 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018
Future: 2020, 2022, 2024, 2026, 2028

I don't need the year or the season. Just the city name.

Should say 423 in the title
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.

It is VERY GOOD! I'm gonna make it a threepeat! And everyone will remember how my streak overlapped with that of James.

(Well, probably no one will remember.)
