Q: Which is better, a peanut butter sandwich, or eternal happiness?

A: A peanut butter sandwich, of course.

Proof: Most would agree, that nothing is better than eternal happiness. But on the other hand, a peanut butter sandwich is certainly better than nothing ...

If you read this thread, don't listen to anything I have to say. I'm on a losing streak and getting paired up with a lot of bronze players, so I think I'm gonna get demoted. :oops: I'm on the cusp of demotion, too.

Poor zerg. I tried a few games as random, and got fed up fighting the terrans. Then one time I get matched against a zerg player, my `random' turns out to be `terran'... Well, at least I could try copying what my previous opponent just did to me. (I won, but ...
