George Bush, Hoochie, Viagra for Babies


Hay May, It's The Hoochie Nay.


A friend just got off of 39 hours straight in the hospital. That's not cool.

Sleeping in class. Acceptable or not acceptable?

Pizza with bacon, cheese, potatoes, and chives? Cool or not cool?

Bunnies or Hamsters for pets? I am going to go with neither.

The Sun is Shining, The Rain is Gone.
