Have fun! Watch out for the Australian Drop Bears!Quote:

Of all the songs about turning your daughter into a hooker, "Fancy" by Reba has to be the best one.
Is that a long list of songs to choose from?Quote:

That would be like Michelangelo finishing up the Sistine Chapel and then immediately sitting down and writing Jolene. Same thing. It's the greatest day in music history.Quote:
