With that, Oriental Silk was plugged, meaning that the final C&D blend has fallen. Five were on the original roster, but they were picked off flake by flake and ultimately none made the ribbon cut. Broadly speaking, they've all been ready-rubbed out.

Ennerdale has been knocked around so hard you'd think he went on a date with Chris Brown. Still, he hasn't lost a single hit point in the net count. It's hard to say whether that's a blessing or a curse, so I'll default to Eastern philosophy and assume it's both intertwined. Or should I say, Ennertwined.

What can I say? I've run all out of funnies.
