I tried to post but the scanner broke when I put my picture in. that's my
story and I'm sticking to it.
It's one thing if you're a good looking woman with spectacular hair, not
that I'm thinking of anyone in particular here, it's another if you're,

Maybe one day if I get drunk enough but seeing as how I don't drink it may
be a while. Your not knowing what us left coasters look like is your own
fault; you never stopped here on your travels and you refuse to drive 6000
miles on a broken foot to attend our fabulous function [which you miss
identified, it's bURNINGvAN]

PS I'm actually really handsome, like George Clooney kind of, but I don't
want to make the rest of the guys feel bad. What's that laughter I hear?
From all over the country? Spoil sports!
