Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
ok - this was amazing
Gunpowder - that's completely awesome. Looking good up there.
We should have a thread of/about Swampers on national (or any) tv.
seeing as I'm completely out of touch, what's the concept here? is every person on the floor a contestant or are there teams?
