        You and me both -- nm - amoxy Jan 23, 10:13
      - but what does being "legal" or not have to do with it? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 10:06 1

        how can you hate Zooey?????? - groiny Jan 23, 09:38 2
        
        If you look up "Trying too hard" in the dictionary, they just show her. - Will Hunting Jan 23, 09:40
