  2. Oop, S, I am sorry about that! I do know that you're parents were beautiful, and they made a beautiful baby. That must count for something, yes?

    I'm leaving the link in there anyway, because I hope everyone will visit PCL! Between PCL and WFMU, I get all the web action a girl could desire.
