As we all know old habits die hard, I guess we are stuck with Zoob whether we like it or not.
Old habits do indeed, die hard. That's why I have to watch my tongue when I golf with my oldest boy. He doesn't need to hear me say things like "Who was the flippin' fetcher who decided that that would be a good place for a lateral hazzard?!" or something to that effect.
