I think 6 and 13 are actually the same thing (although ER ended with Julianna M. and George C. meeting up, didn't it?). Anyhoo....

Next category:

Songs you've been listening to a lot lately (with link)

1. Usher, "Scream"

Love it!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpsUsP2lIzU

Oops! I think I screwed up--I actually did mean St. Elsewhere for #6. Sorry about that! Haven't actually seen the episode (or any of either show) but I've heard about that episode plenty of times.

Elendil's Heir, why create a category calling for "with link", and then you remove peoples' links while at the same time and in the same way, you insert your own link, here?



On second thought, don't answer that. Your illogical moves and inconsistencies are baffling, and this is not a one-off. It's systemic.

Leave other peoples' post information alone.


Play on:
