| As The Match Burns Glossary of Matchbox Terms |
| Ever wondered what the hell MadShrubbery was talking about? Yeah, I do all the time. Here you can find a glossary of terms that she realized you just might not understand unless defined. No, you don't have to thank her, we forced her to do it at gunpoint. I mean, really, sometimes she's worse than Dennis Miller. As always, everything is written out of fun. If you're taking this seriously, you probably didn't understand "Mad Season," either, and therefore really shouldn't read this anyway. |
| The Glossary will change with each Episode. Be sure to check it frequently for new updates! Also, if you come across a term you don't understand, feel free to email us and we'll be happy to define it for you, and add it to the Glossary! Note: The author would like to thank everyone that presented this idea to MS, and to AlixTheGreat for figuring out that it's called what it's called. |
