And you too, hotdog!
Congratulations Dolores!
And great Feud, MsWhatsit
Well, aren’t we just Little Miss America!
Third. Woohoo! If it hadn’t been for all those UnAmerican commies who didn’t name Aaron Copland as a composer and didn’t name a truly unique American holiday like I did, I would’ve won. That’s ok, I know in my heart I am the one true patriot.
Congrats, DC! And thank you, and MsWhatsit.
I want my entry fee back.
yay. dead last again. Bet I hold the record for number of last places… a dubious honor at best.
Fix! Fix! Boo!
