Devontae Adams was injured during Sunday's game versus the Cardinals with a hamstring injury. He will miss six to ten weeks. funny stat about Sofi Stadium. the Cardinals hold more wins than the Rams and the Chargers combined. Yeah, combined. So I mean, you know. Go Cardinals are doing well in the stadiums. Daniel: yeah. CJ Gardner Johnson suspended one game for unsports and like conduct. he spit on a Raider during the second half of the game. Fuck Your Curse!: Very CJ Gardner. Braiders need to sign him. I think he's trying to pat his stats for him right there. Daniel: Maybe.

Tomorrow will be a very important practice to watch. See if he starts this weekend or not. Fuck Your Curse!: Absolutely. Yeah, you miss a Friday. Usually you're incredibly questionable and you tend to miss that week, so. Daniel: Mm. Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: defense Titans defensive tackle Jordan Elliott was released today by the team after pulling a gun in the parking lot of the team's facility five days ago. What is wrong with these kids, Daniel? If we had their opportunity, you know what I mean? They just Daniel: Yeah, at that age I'd probably be fucking it up too, so. You know. Fuck Your Curse!: Hey, hey, we did stupid shit, but I don't know about like something like that. So I get it. I get it. man, rough, rough. Daniel: J J McCarthy will start for the Giants this weekend. Let's see what he ends up doing. Fuck Your Curse!: Really needed to like circus Mary a go to round music right there for like their quarterback carousel that's going on. I don't know. I thought that would have been Daniel: Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: more Giants news. Giants have released Najee Harris. that's a bummer. Daniel: It was like a one week experiment. Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah, they didn't even give that one a go. So okay. let's see. We had a a trade. So sadly, Mario's not here to talk about his trade. He had a trade with Justin, Rusty the Hobo, Giovanni Bernard, 2027 10th round pick, and a sixth round pick in 2027 for Devo Samuel, Woody Marks. 2027 11th round and a 2027th 12th round. Okay. Daniel: Okay. Fuck Your Curse!: I I mean padding, padding. Somebody is really padding their roster and trying to move forward through the playoffs Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: each week. Each week. I love it. speaking of trying to stay alive, here was one. myself. Daniel: Y yeah, your trade. Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah. it's funny. I didn't it, you know, was obviously not to affect this week. Josh Jacobs, Marvin Harrison, for a fourth. 2027 and a six, Robbie's six specifically, twenty twenty-eight. for Devin Bush, third 2027 Mario's pick and a fifth round pick in 2028. yeah. Yeah, he wanted a defensive Daniel: Nice. Fuck Your Curse!: player. He's hunting a player right now from Jose. He is currently texting Jose Jose needs a running back, he needs a he's I I can't even think like the text that I got from Robbie, and I know Mose's going through this with him so he knows what's going on, but like my end of it was hey, he texted me this and it was a trade j Jordan Mason for Kyle Pitts. Just straight up, right? What do you think the next text would be? I need a defensive player. What do you think about Carson Sweeschinger, Fred Warner or Will Anderson? Daniel: Wow. Top. Fuck Your Curse!: Top player, top player, top player. I'm like, you need you need to start handing first round picks and more away. Just Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: just bend over and give away picks, dude, 'cause you're talking about top players that are also tag worthy. And Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: probably two of them are his tags. So Do you think he's w but but it was like paired with do you think he's worth Jordan Mason? Or is Jordan Mason worth? Are you fucking stupid? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So good luck with that one, Jose. take advantage of him. let's jump into our battles. in our first Daniel: Take advantage. Fuck Your Curse!: battle of the evening, I mean like speaking of Jose, he went and swept saving pro Privats Privates. With a swift kick to the privates. 177.91 to 166.31, only an 11.61 point victory. Jose holds his head high here to get his second win of the season. Brock Purdy with a charge 22.36 leading his team. Jose traded for Coker. man, Coker. I I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm an idiot. That's all I have to say. Missing my first round. I just keep seeing that name, and I'm thinking that should have been on my roster. Idiot. 13 points, 7 points. Paying out so far. This kid is amazing. solid. Absolutely solid. Brenton Strange. 13.4. 17.4 from Damian Pierce. And filling in for the missing McCaffrey and Shipley. but the points continue. Zavada. We love kickers. 10 points. 219 uh.95 from the Defense, Denver defense, and Carson Specians here, because he must always be mentioned. if only Mario held him or loved him as much as we did, we might frame him right behind us here, I think. 21 points. I mean, we must mention him long and Fred Daniel: Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: Warner, 14 points, and 20 from Trotter. Man, I gotta say, that is that is I've already messaged him like end of the season. Let's talk. Daniel: Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: Let's talk. Daniel: For sure. Fuck Your Curse!: now 160s is usually low, but thankfully he is the third lowest this week. So you know, no banishment today. You're dodging it. although maybe he should be question mark. This performance with Josh Allen, 23.8, Bucky, 10.7, and Daniel: Mm-hmm. Fuck Your Curse!: Chuba. Chuba was the savior with 27.7. Killing it. next was Jamie Sherwood with 26 points on his defense. And that's about it. No one else showed up. And that is why Rob Losk. Congratulations, Jose, on your second win. feels great, doesn't it? Daniel: Yeah. Second win. Alright. our next battle, Plague of Anubis versus Ananke's Temple of BDSM. Plague of Anubis claims a convincing two hundred and twenty-nine point eight nine to one eighty-eight point five zero victory, winning by forty-one point three nine points. And taking home this week's Conqueror of the Week award for scoring the most points of any team this week. Congratulations. Ananke's Temple didn't just lose, it got in the front the front row seat of a full underworld invasion. Plague's biggest surprise came from Jalen Knoll, who exploded for 26.9 points. Despite being rostered in just 8% of leagues. Bryce Young added 24.44. George Kittle delivered 20.9. Chase McLaughlin chipped in with 21 points from your kickers. Distances matter. On defense, Sunny Fuck Your Curse!: Mm-hmm. Daniel: Styles scored 24 points. Evan Williams, that was a great pickup, added 22.85 points. And Cleveland defense put up 21.3. And Nubis had plenty of souls to collect this week. Anank Fuck Your Curse!: Mm-hmm. Daniel: had a monster performance from the previously dropped Drake May, who scored Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah. Daniel: 35.10 points, but put supporting casts but the but the supporting cast couldn't keep up. Trey McBride added 19.8. Braylon Allen scored 18.8. And Javante Williams contributed 15.7. Unfortunately, the lineup took a serious hit from Kool-Aid McKinnistries 1 and several defensive players who couldn't match Plague's production. The bench didn't offer Ananke much salvation with Rico Dowell 9.3 being the best available score. Plague's bench was quiet too, so the starters deserve the credit. Anubis wins the battle decisively. And the temple's defenses have fallen. Drake may brought the fire, but plague brought the entire underworld. Congratulations, John. Fuck Your Curse!: Thank you very much. Yeah, and he talked a lot of shit and it's really nice that I got to just kick him down at what is he now? O and six, so it was nice. Daniel: and six. Beautiful. Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah, yeah, yeah. i it it is, it is. but you know, he's doing the opposite in Disney and he got the win last week. Daniel: He did. Fuck Your Curse!: it was very unfortunate. Yeah, I left one player in that should not have been in and I totally would have crushed his ass though. But again, fuck Monday night football's overtime because that killed me. Ooh, it killed me. Yeah, yeah, I know. Okay, in an amazing stellar battle, Smitey Mighty Boston has cast down from the heavens and struck Ferathragna's vengeance square between the feelings. Right in the heart. 191 to 186.25, Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: a four point seven point victory. You know it's way too close for comfort. this close loss is this week's Closest making Ali this week's recipient of the Spartan Shield. Wow. Another week Jose isn't here. Look that. Congratulations. And back to Ollie, how he sucks. This is Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: the week's he is this week's ninth highest score. So not that high. being out of fourteen, you know, but I guess he's not the bottom, so congratulations. Mario whipped out his Penic and you know what. Congratulations. That was a great waiver grab. and you know that's that's kinda you know, the it's required with two hands to grab these penicks. So it's girthy thing. And he put up thirty five point three points. Yeah. It's not like any other Pennix. There's no other. this one stands out. Next to him was DeAndre Swift with twenty five point seven. it's pretty good. but it's no thirty five, so you know. Twenty-two, Jeremy Bernard and twelve point two from Tucker Kraft. Darren Waller was nowhere to be found with a donut, and Marshawn Lloyd got scared because of the return of Josh Jacobs, so he sat on the bench for 2.6. his five defenders all put up double digits, although they were low double digits, but still that's double digits are pretty good, I think. Sadly for Oli, four point seven five isn't that much, which means he wasn't far behind. So twenty-eight points from neighbors. Boswell kicker was his next. Twenty-three points. And holding linebacker one. He is holding an Ernest Jones with he only scored seventeen points this week, but he I think he's like a hundred and twenty points right now in our league currently. Yeah, yeah, I know. I was looking at that today. Anthony Hill Daniel: One of the top players. Fuck Your Curse!: with eighteen. He is the top player. He is the top linebacker. out of IDP is the top. I think Arvel Reese might be a little higher one point. Jacoby Parrish with 21 go Bucks. but it was the single digit games from the big studs like B. John Robinson, who only put up eight points. I hope he does it against us this week. And on this topic, Robbie lost in Highlander from the chopped eight points of Bijan. Fapping material for a week. It was so nice. Thank you for letting me chop him, by the way. I know you waited. You could have done it too, because I think y i you you you need to do this next week. Daniel: I definit I definitely wanted to give you the pleasure of getting robbed. Fuck Your Curse!: I appreciate that. I saw you make you made a comment and I'm like, he's making a comment, which means he's paying attention. I need to do it. I need to do it. So yeah. Yeah, I appreciate that. It good fapping material for like a week. So Yeah. No. Yeah, that was that Daniel: I I I I definitely hand of the sword. This is yours. Fuck Your Curse!: was just cherry on the top for the day. Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: So got to beat him and then chop So Daniel: Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: And I think chass won Bijan, so good for her. So Daniel: Nice. Fuck Your Curse!: but back to all the singles. two from a Delaney, nine from Spillane, eight point four from his Houston defense itself. This can't win games. And it didn't. Congratulations, Mario. Another host wins. Hey, yeah. Three of us win. Three of us. Daniel: Yeah. Very nice. That's two of the host battles taken care of. Very, very nice. Next up, I'm an Aztec warrior versus the one. The undefeated one. Team the one takes this victory. 188.8.532. 157.67, winning by 30.86 points and leaving the Aztec Warriors searching for answers. The one was carried by Christian McCaffrey's 30.4 points, with Hunter Henry's 20.3 points, and the Seattle defense delivering 20.45 points. Kyle Hamilton and Buda Baker chipped in 19 and 21 points respectively. Giving the one a strong defensive backbone. Even with Patrick Mahomes scoring just 11.98 and Brandon Aubrey managing only one point, the team had enough firepower to get the job done. The Aztec Warrior had some bright spots. Tampa Bay's defense led the way with 25.15 points. Aaron Rodgers scored 20.22 and Ashton Genty added 17.3. But TJ Watts two points and Xavier McKinney's six points left some serious gaps in the lineup. Puka Nakua's 12 points also fell short of the production the Aztec needed from one of its top stars. The verdict? The one wins this battle with balanced production and Kristen McCaffrey powered attack. The Aztec Warriors put up a fight, but this week the Fantasy Gods determined a sacrifice. Feis and TJ Watt apparently volunteered. The one continues to be the one undefeated team in our league. Fuck Your Curse!: Yes. She is a monster of a team and I I'm trying to look back. I gotta figure out I don't think I'm looking back at the pick'em because it was a rough week for all of us this week and Two, five yeah, I didn't Mm. Continue. I gotta type out our pickles. Never counted our week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's down Daniel: I thought it saw it down there. You wanna do your read? Fuck Your Curse!: there, but it's not yeah, it's down there, but it's not on. Yeah, hey, I'd like to actually point out this was the only read I fully took the time to actually fully write. because we had and then we had with everyone being sick and everything, I like we split the rest of Barrios up. I you got the only like truly written one here, so I feel special. Daniel: Thank you. Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah, yeah, yeah. all right, so has the curse been broken? Third host victory. In our third host battle, we had an absolute doozy. Rusty the hobo has fallen before the Apache Gorillas to 10.47 to 186.68, a 23.79 point beating that sends Rusty back to the streets searching for answers and possible warm places to sleep, but definitely for more traits because he was definitely doing that. Daniel: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Fuck Your Curse!: Daniel claims his second win of the season. Beating his our newest manager and showing him who runs this league. This man has been active. Waivers, trades, roster moves, the whole nine yards. God, I love Justin. He's a great addition. Great job, Daniel. Great job. he's been working on his fantasy football streets like a man possessed. But this week, all that wheeling and dealing took a backseat to one thing. Putting up points. Great job. Leading the charge for the Apache Gorillas was a gold studded and all blinged out. Kirk Cousins slinging it for the Raiders and dropping a respectable 26.52 points. Somebody got this man a diamond-encrusted mouth guard. Doesn't he already have one? But the hero of the hour, Jackson Smith and J Bub B, coming up with 23.4 when his team needing him the most. Matthew Golden matched with another 23.4 of his own. Yeah, that was pretty good, right? It's pretty Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: monstrous. add 23 points from Quentin Lake and another 16 from Yuminori. Great pickup, dude. And you've got yourself a well-rounded fantasy beatdown. Points from every corner of the battlefield. Now over to Resy's camp. CJ Stroud was the shining star putting up 29.18 points, and with another big bodied receiver joining the Texans arsenal. Stroud may have himself a new favorite target. That physical combination could be something special. Isn't that what I already have though? I'd say like times three. But anyway. Daniel: Mm-hmm. Fuck Your Curse!: Unfortunately for Rusty after Stroud, that was that's about it. Caleb Downs let the led the remaining charge with 19 points. Woody Marks scraped together 13, and George Pickens picked together 14.9. and that's where the excitement ends, folks. Nothing to go shouting into the streets about. Nothing to make your neighbors think you've won the lottery, and apparently not enough to win a fantasy matchup. Meanwhile, Dan Daniel's bench was overflowing with massive point totals. Dude, yeah, I saw. But still you won though. So like it doesn't matter. Daniel: Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: but enough from your backups to outscore most of Rusty starters. Daniel: My starters. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah. And your starters too. Yeah, absolutely. That's the kind of depth that makes fantasy managers smile and every else stare at the roster wondering what went wrong. Although it's like you're like, come to me, picks, picks. Daniel: Mm. Pring, pring. Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah. Yeah. It's a sound from like Sonic as they all fall. Daniel: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Fuck Your Curse!: Congratulations on a huge win. The Apache gorillas move on and Rusty Hobo is left picking up Through the wreckage. so but has the curse been broken? I don't know. Stay tuned, Mortals. The next Daniel: We'll we'll have to see. Fuck Your Curse!: battle will reveal it all. Always stay vigilant, soldiers. Daniel: Right. Very nice. Feels good. Week one to week six. It's been a drought. Nice to nice nice Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah, that's Daniel: to break that streak. Ugh so good. I've been basking in that win all week. Alright. Next up, Owl Formation versus the Hail Marys. Owl Formation Sword 2A 208.56 to 100 151 appropriate 0.59. Victory. Winning by 56.97 points. And claiming Massacre of the Week for the largest point differential of any matchup. Meanwhile. The Hail Marys had a week they'd rather forget, finishing as the lowest scoring manager and earning a one-way ticket banished to Hades. Owl Formation's victory had some unlikely heroes. Tyler Shuck exploded for 34.96 points, while Bayeshell Tutan added 26.6 through two receiving touchdowns. On diff on defense, Travis Hunter delivered a massive twenty-eight point nine points and Alex Singleton piled up twenty-one points. The Baltimore defense also chipped in with twenty nine twenty-eight point nine and sorry twenty point nine providing that owl formation lineup had barely had plenty of ways to hurt its opponent. Derrick Henry however managed just eight point four points And Mark Andrews added only 2.4, but the rest of the roster more than made up for it. The Hail Marys had a few bright spots, including Jordan Loves 23.54 points, the Patriots defense at 21.9, and Demario Davis with 17 points. But the offense never found its rhythm. Drake London scored 11.2 points. Devontae Adams managed 6.9 and Terry McLaurin finished with just 3.7 despite being in the starting lineup. The bench offered a couple missed opportunities. Romeo Dubbs 14.7 and Xavier Worthy 12.3. Neither would have eased the erased the deficit. But every point counts when the fantasy gods are sharpening their blades. The verdict. Owl Formation delivered a full-scale fantasy demolition, making Massacre of the Week honors and leaving Hail Mary's wandering the underworld. One manager takes the glory, the other gets banished to Hades. Fantasy gods have spoken, and this week's verdict was not close. Fuck Your Curse!: I mean he's been going from c being conqueror and massacre of the week himself to banish to Hades. Daniel: Spanished one. Yep. Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah, so go big or go home big. So I guess. Solid. Solid. Daniel: Solid. Fuck Your Curse!: in another battle, Hercules Huge Sock has beaten the once monster, the victorious Valkyries, who haven't felt so victorious in some time. Vince picked on that one kid in the schoolyard, earning his third victory of the season, and in our third claw closest battle of the week, two 222.88 to 203.75, 19.13. Point victory that I'm sure felt like much more to some people. Vince was this week's second highest scoring team of the week, which is not what Chass expected when she came out swinging. Matthew Stafford didn't do much for Vince with 19.88 being his he lost old man Adams for the year. But James Cook has 31.2 points to make to make up the gap. Christian Watson was math watching Matthew Golden soak up all those points in the sunlight and with you know his nine point four. but Isaiah likely with twenty eight point nine is huge. Nico flattening out with Harrison in town, or better yet, Noel stealing it all. Only dropped eleven point one. And Mike Heaven had before he got hurt had twelve point four. 35 from the Pittsburgh defense and 20 from Jeremy Chen was all worth mentioning. As for Jazz, she has studs. Who showed up? Jaden Daniels was back, 25.9. Jonathan Taylor's had a nice showing. he because he's you know looking for new teams, 26.8. And Chris Olave, wide receiver four on the season with 13.9, not a flashy game. It's the Juwan Johnson with a donut and the Ezekiel Masses with another two first player I've dropped that didn't boom. Sorry, honey. I think it's maybe because he stayed in the household that it it was not like a drop drop, you know what Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: I mean? Yeah, I don't know. everyone else did their job. Kenneth Walker had 33.7. Rashad White even put up 15.6. Schmidt kicked 10. For Cleveland to stay above Baltimore. tough loss for Chass. You need to get right game after three straight losses. Or you're gonna be hanging out with me, Robbie, and Mario for the princess. Congratulations, Vince, on third win. it was a big one. Daniel: And it was Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah, yeah. Daniel: Breaking through. There's a few teams at the top and a few teams in the very bottom. I was looking at the standings. It's th there's only Fuck Your Curse!: Yeah. Daniel: a couple of teams with winning records. Everyone else is either even or almost even. So Fuck Your Curse!: It's trying to stay above above even there. Yeah. Daniel: Mm. There could be like a three week swing where everything changes up. It's we're we're pretty c we're all within three games. It's pretty cool. Well mo mostly. Robbie's not, but Fuck Your Curse!: Mm-hmm. I'm hoping I my trades Yeah, not Robbie. Not Robbie at all. Although when it comes to consolation, he's still not like hammered down in the bottom because of the way our consolation works. One win in the back can get to take him away from that princess. So winning at the right time helps, right? So Daniel: That it does. All right. Loki Loki's treasure box of the week. We talked about Mario's big penic showing up. He picked them up off waivers. Thirty five point three points. In Fuck Your Curse!: Mm mm. Daniel: our dynasty, he scored like forty one points on my bench. yeah. That's okay. Fuck Your Curse!: Mm. At least you have though. So it's really good feeling that you have So Yeah. Daniel: I do. I almost trade him away for Robbie for some picks and Robbie was giving me shit about panics, but he's been a top quarterback since he's been started. Fuck Your Curse!: Robbie's bitching about a lot of things and the it's he's growing to understand our league, but he he's the growing pains are starting with his defensive side first. He doesn't really understand it and grasp it. A Daniel: Mm. Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: lot of people never play defensive, so they don't know. And then he's gotta learn the values of in a in a dynasty and a keeper, right? So Daniel: Joey leaned heavily into defense and he's the stop top or second top Fuck Your Curse!: I guess. Daniel: scoring team in Dynasty now. So see how it goes. Defense wins. Fuck Your Curse!: Yep. defense wins, man. Yeah. Daniel: defensive player of the week was for Chass with Jordan Battle scoring 30.35 points. Congratulations, Chass. Fuck Your Curse!: Mm-hmm. Yeah, it was a good pickup. Very good pickup. so I don't I don't think I counted last week because I think this is last week's countings. Daniel: Mm. Fuck Your Curse!: I because I think you took the one-point advantage up last week. We were even. I yeah, I don't remember either. I'm sorry. I apologize. No, Daniel: That's cool. We'll figure it out next week. Fuck Your Curse!: last week shows it was 22. Last week shows it was 2020. We were even last week of 20 and 15. So it looks like you Went three and four. I went two and five and Mario went one and six. So you hold the lead at twenty two, twenty-three and nineteen. I'm at twenty two and twenty. Mario's at sixteen and twenty six. so yeah, he's falling a little behind, but he takes his chances, you know. But then again, we all do. We all do. I'm not Daniel: Yes, he does. Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: none of us are doing really great. This we've had I think we one good week each of us. So Daniel: Mine was like week one too. Yeah. Fuck Your Curse!: Mm it's rough. It's been rough. Yeah. odd year. But let's let's prophesize. Let's prophesize. We're gonna we're we're changing our picks to pick It's not pick so let's prophesize. So play Daniel: They're right. The oracles have spoken. Fuck Your Curse!: Yes, yes, Verathract's vengeance versus Plague of Anubis. I love it. I'm coming for him. I'm Daniel: Ooh, lone wolf on this. Fuck Your Curse!: coming for all Lee. I am I am You you are, yeah. I'm coming for him. I'm like my my I love my matchups. Let me pull open this. I love my matchups. I love everything I've done on waivers. he did have a really good game tonight with Ramondre Stevenson putting up twenty six points, so that's not gonna help me. But he also has Lamar Jackson in his starting lineup who may not play. I think that's gonna hurt him. and Justin just went and picked up Baker Mayfield off the waivers. So I know that our waivers are incredibly thin and all Lee's not paying attention to that. So I'm gonna pick me. And it's not because of his quarterback position. It's because of I'm gonna say the running back I just picked up, Josh Jacobs, and this nice studly cast of flex slash wide receiver, tight ends and all you know the George Kittle has nice weeks. Price has been a a really great pickup. Miles Price from Minnesota has been a really great pickup. Not from the fact that he's in an offense, but because of punt kickoff returns. And I think his floor was fourteen point one. he has five back at R2, but he's he's he's putting up really good points as high as twenty nine. I d Really good weeks with some of these things. So I don't know. Hey, how am I taking Oli down? Take it up down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're talking shit. I hear you. Your judgment. Your Daniel: Yeah. Go for it. See how it goes. Fuck Your Curse!: the way you typed Ollie. I see what you did. I see what you did. Yeah, it's all right. I get it. I get it. Daniel: A L I Next one, Victorious Valkyries versus Anonke's Temple. Clean Sweep. Fuck Your Curse!: yeah, he's owing six. Yeah, yeah, I mean, like you know, you know what I noticed that you know we do a lot of like clean sweep for chassis and she's gonna lose. So don't want to don't No, absolutely fucking not. I can't do that. I'm not I'm Daniel: You gonna vote for Robbie? Well, I mean Fuck Your Curse!: not gonna do that. He's owing six right now, and you know, boy, that would talk a lot of shit to my wife if she gave him her first his first win. So Daniel: nobody wants to be that person right now. Fuck Your Curse!: No, definitely not. Definitely not. So yeah, I'm gonna go away. For all three clean sweeps.
