I tried to watch some of that Victoria’s Secret fashion show while channel surfing, but whenever I switched to CBS they had that Sting dipshit on doing one of his boring songs. Bring on the naked ladies, I say! But no; Sting is what you shall have :mad: ---

Victoria’s secret is that she could have ended the great Famine in Ireland at any time, with a word, but chose not to. ---

I live near where VS’s parent company is based, so they appear in the business section of our paper for one reason or another relatively often. One time not too long ago, a reporter doing some story or another (I think it had to do with the origins of companies’ names) asked company representatives who Victoria was. Remarkably, the article said that no one at VS seemed to have any idea. They thought the name had been chosen just because it sounded right or something. 😕 ---
