That link to Hayden Panettiere pics — nice. Talk about planning ahead. There’s already a shot on there which is a bit prurient. Oops, not sure I’m using that right.
Regarding Lindsay Lohan’s pregnancy — I am *not* the father, so stop spreading those rumors.
I hope you’re dead wrong about the Yankees in the WS. Also, I think the Patriots will get tripped up in the conference championship and not play in the Super Bowl. That might be a break for Dallas, because I agree with you that they’re going. Didn’t know that Romo and Simpson were an item (had heard that she’s pregnant though).
