Wonder what the Blowfish is up to these days?

Sidenote: If breasts did grow on trees, there would be a lot more environmentalists in this country.

Best thing he's ever done. That was perverse AND eccentric and Hootie knew it. That and Hottie's got bills.

12. I know a couple who named a baby from a misheard lyric

Bruce Hornsby's "Mandolin Rain." They mistook "I laughed and she'd smile" for "Well, Afton, she'd smile" and named their baby daughter Afton. I think it's a pretty name, actually.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

28. No. It was a surgery resident I knew in Wichita.

[Emops]
