Filing your staircase mnemonic in my mind right next to this banger for the Great Lakes.

I hated this song as a kid. I adoooooore it now.

China’s really that cheap? 3% did you say?!

This is originally he. Voilà moi. It was I.

I miss real keyboards for the numberpad and the Home and End and the Pages Up and Down. Plus all the satisfying noise they made. Had no idea I needed this, too.
