  - I hate her and can't even say why. I don't know. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 07:59 1
    - It is not like she is Yoko Ono. - Spawn Apr 24, 08:14

        And really, not beer flavored, either. - Spawn Apr 24, 08:09 2
        
        we would have accepted " wine flavored" as well. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 24, 08:19 1
        
        Ah. That is closer to "tastes like a strawberry" as well. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:19
  - Found it. -- (link) - Spawn Apr 24, 07:57 [Image] 1
    - That is NOT travon barksdale -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:00
