- And I'd like to remind everyone that I'm available if you're looking for a beneficiary. -- nm - Mop Jan 4, 19:46 1
  - and if they have money problems, you're the first one they'll sell off to gypsys :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 4, 19:59
2 minutes into After the Sunset, I'm pretty sure I don't like it. 5 minutes in, I'm pretty sure Salma Hayek's boobs should get their own credit. - Mop Jan 4, 19:44 6
