  <h3>The Aiko Story</h3>
  <pre><code>Aiko tells you, 'what's up?'
You tell Aiko, 'not much, you?'
Aiko tells you, 'at school... listing to an NT lecture on user policies and file permissions and such'
You tell Aiko, 'heh mudding during lecture'
*Frontline* (page Aiko x 20)
You tell Aiko, 'muhahaha'
[ Closing link to: Aiko. ]</code></pre>
  <p><em>Moral of the story: Turn your speakers down if you are going to mud during lecture. :)</em></p>
