Lots of woos?

Seems to me that there are lots of woos posting today. Is that the norm? Or is this some of kind of pre-emptive strike?

Woo = anybody who believes in crazy stuff (CTs, astrology, etc).

IIRC = If I Remember/Recall Correctly.

IIRC is "if I recall correctly," and woo is short for woo-woo, of course.

ETA: garnos and Arkan don't know what they're talking about.

I think that the woos will always come and knock on our door. They have to practice their skills because Halloween is coming up.
