I’m in. “JohnT’s bracket” under our movie group discussion login “KnoxFilmForum”.

Consider me stunned that “No” was the default answer to “Do you want our crap newsletters?” 😉

I am in made some “redfaced” picks - didn’t know there would be another jimmy until I got in there - but should be clear enough who is who.

Thanks for setting this up.

I just finished reading the article here at work. That little story about breastfeeding and the porn awards almost caused some very inappropriate laughter.

I’m not sure what it is (and I realize a lot people disagree) but I’d read anything written by him or his wife; I always find something that makes me laugh.
