Bleachers -- Strange Desire Close to a perfect pop album.

The HOOS (Headcase OLED Owners Society) may be willing to consider these as subsidiary screens granting affiliate membership, if anyone (other than Steve) is looking for a backdoor way to slide in.

Yes. That would be a "veggie with cheese."

Two double-doubles animal style protein style. Rather too much plant matter, but some allowances must be made for convenience.

Happy Birthday!

Fingers crossed for Florida!

It's shit and getting shitter. If you enter "Test" and 123456 into their hack checker page, it tells you your data was compromised. Confidence inspiring!
