Keep this day open.
Bump to our friends.
LOL, with that crowd anything is possible!
Dengar01, I remember those weird things on the sticks. They were kinda creepy and stupid all at the same time. Remember the dork with the banjo? Everytime they had attempted a chant he started playing the banjo and got this huge stoner grin on his face. What losers.
