My post on another thread:


Lol, it's a joke. I believe it just means they're swapping engines, giving one a rest and starting the other up to run the game (is that right?)

Lol. I was going to post this. I always suspected my local ISP was powered by hamsters hopped up on Coca-cola and Pop Rocks, but who knew about STS? :D

If I was going to guess, I'd say something to do with power supplies and/or UPS, but just maybe.....

Haha! That one guy is selling a Lv51 Sewer leather for 500k. I laugh because I bought one yesterday for 400K! WIN! :)

And, hey 'Tider--win! :D

I'm amazed that there are quite few people that don't know what a gerbil swap means

I swear we've had this before... or it could've been from another game where they used the words "gerbil swap".

The new ones are probably triple-crown gerbils, while the old ones were common gerbils. Course, the old ones could just be that: old. Hope there's some good spa time waiting for the old ones. They deserve it!

Wee little saunas, gerbil masseuses, a nice pitcher of alfalfa mojitos and gerbils lounging around a swimming pool. The players are obviously not the only ones STS knows how to take care of. :)
