- yeah, we're in the same boat. I've not found anything else that even comes close, - decline Mar 5, 12:49 1
  - I don't mind paying for things that are worth it (why should the game have no-cost at all?), but you shouldn't have to pay hundred of dollars to have - Don Homer Mar 5, 13:09

- the character is supposed to be a couple of years older than Maria who is 16. - Diva Mar 5, 12:47 19

      - produce what? and the music's already composed. -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 12:51 9
        
        Gotta rap between the chorus! It's what I do! -- nm - Pitbull Mar 5, 12:59 4
        
        Shut up! I hate you!! Go do another Bud lime commercial!! -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 12:59 3
        
        remember the BiL's impression of him? - Mel Profit Mar 5, 13:02 2
        
        it was hilarious. he even had the ography down. -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 13:08 1
        
        exactly. the 'ography and expressions killed. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 5, 13:13
        
        gotta make it hip for todays generation with 25 remixes of every song! -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 12:54 2
        
        then maybe they'll get someone good. And perhaps Sondheim might write another song while he's still with us. - Diva Mar 5, 12:57 1
        
        that would be nice. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 13:10
        
        ... about that... -- nm - Spielberg Mar 5, 12:52
    - JLo can want in all she wants...but at 42, she ain't playing no 18 year old. -- nm - Jim Mar 5, 12:48 2
      - or 44. -- nm - Jim Mar 5, 12:48 1
        
        Oh I know. -- nm - MDH Mar 5, 12:53
- yes! thank you. -- nm - Remlik Mar 5, 12:46
all I know is I'm going to play Detectice Schrank tonight. - Mel Profit Mar 5, 12:43 3
- he's the racist police Lieutenant. -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 12:44 2
  - The part of Det. Schrank will be played tonight by some douchebag from Savin Hill. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 5, 12:46 1
    - ha! -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 12:50
Here's a video that'll ruin your day. Yay! -- (link) - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 5, 12:42 [youtube] 1
