1.Amarone My most profuse apologies for the gender mixup. I could write reams of paper on the subject of why I am so stupid, but I shall spare you.
2.Baker Interesting the Male V Female ratio.
Zelda Rubenstein has a bigger fan base tonight than she’s ever had before, I reckon. A few more hours, Zelda! You CAN DO IT!!! It’s the Lou Rawls Bandwagon all over again. Good times.
I have my quote prepared when Zelda shuffles this mortal coil Whatever the hell does that mean?. " I just popped my cherry on a dwarf."
Nearly as good as when the Pope died. " I just scored on the Pontiff."

This is why I was so happy that the SD left the pay-to-post program. I have watched this for the past few years with an odd sense of longing. Also, I want to say I hope I am completely wrong and none of my choices die this year, cause that’s just, well, SICK.
