> [@tim-n-va](#): > > I had to go look but I had joe Pa as an alternate. I feared I would have to say “I lost my virginity to Joe Paterno”. Now I have to say that… :eek: 71st place! Woo-hoo! I’m proud of my boyfriend. I logged online just now and JoePa’s death was the headline on my home page. Boyfriend says, “Hey, wasn’t he on your dead people list?” He’s catching on. ---

WOOOOOOOOOOT! I popped my cherry and it feels good!!! And now, since JoPa was my only legitimate hope for points barring an actual tragedy, I must resume my campaign of death-whispering: Pssst Oprah - you’ve had a beautiful life. You deserve a nice walk. Don’t look at the traffic, it doesn’t concern you. Just walk into the road…waaalk intoooo the road/insert lil devil smilie here/.😃 ---

The way I see it, a theme is kind of like a celebrity, hard to define. If you say it’s a theme, I’ll accept your definition. ---
