thanks for the enthusiasm - Javeson1, 2007-04-02: 14:23:00

Doesn't really fit the definition. Euphoria is far from unpleasant. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-02: 18:12:00

How about if it was pronounced eeyeutwentyfouria sounding like that response from teenagers when they see something yucky. - petaj, 2007-04-02: 22:50:00

hah even though it doesn't exactly fit the defination its still a good one to describe the state one is in if one watches the entire season of a really GOOD show and is in a GOOD daze - ekath, 2007-04-04: 00:31:00
