And I looked, and behold a light rail car: and his name that sat on him was Tori, and Pittsburgh followed with him. And power was given unto them over the 20th-largest city in the United States, to kill threads with off-topic posts, and with criticism, and with opinions, and with the scores of the Pirates.
