While we're at it, Bioware should change the grabbing mechanics too. When you grab an enemy, instead of pummeling their brains to bits, your character just gives them a hug and a kiss.

Then they explode into confetti.

Team Fortress 2 really takes their holiday theme preparations up to 11. Like installing Cuddly CandyLand vision googles. Bioware should do something similar. We can justify it in the lore. Promise!

I want a Valentine themed banner.

Like, full on romantic-novel cover like. Cliched as hell. A muscular Batarian pirate wearing a half-torn shirt, holding a Quarian damsel in his arms.

I want that.

The OP sounded like a really dumb idea to me, but I think you just sold me on it.

Would you like Scions to dress up as flying cupids firing pink sparkly arrows at your a$# too?

Yes. Also I would like whoever (whomever? so confusing) peed in your cereal to take it back, because it was just rude and uncalled for.

"Whoever". That's the subjective case, i.e. the performer of action, while "whomover" is the objective case, i.e. target of action. So "whoever pulls the sword from the stone," and "to whomever it may concern".

Important stuff, this!

But then again, is it the object or the subject? Since it is the subject of peeing, but object of liking? Hmm! I do believe there is more to this dilemma than meets the eye, and may have been too hasty to question fair JLoco's linguistic merits!

Restructuring the sentence as "Whoever peed in your cereal, I would like them to take it back" indicates the correct choice is "whomever", after all, as "them" is the direct reference to the word and is objective case. So looks like the joke's on me!
