It's not a deficit
It’s an interlude between leads.

I'll take it.
Because, you know, I totally called that one. Just not on the gamethread.

My parents started watching it this year.
Because of the guy from Milwaukee. Gokey is his name, right? Anyway, I don’t get that; it’s a dude from sixty miles away that we’ve never known about or met until a few weeks ago. Though I guess you could say that about me being a fan of the Brewers, too.
I also don’t like Lost, though I am positive I am in the minority on that one. I see that is one show we disagree on, molitorfan.
:) + Suppan = :'(
I'm just not big on the TV in general.
The only show I like that is on TV anymore is The Office. I love that show.
Otherwise, I’m an internet kind of guy.
:) + Suppan = :'(
I wasn't a big fan of last weeks episode, though.
The 2nd and 3rd seasons were easily the best, in my opinion. I was pretty psyched when I found out that one of the writers on the show was Ken Tremendous of FJM, though.
