Deanna said...

ok....
Compression vs. Camando...
my guess would be A. rythem section... however it would depend on if this is a trick question and u r talkin bout compressors in audio equip terms.. then my answer would be a lil different ...

josh the movie star
D. The Country Bears

Skirt..
well this is a matter of opinion and since that is the case there is no correct answer...... so C. all the above

we must pause for this commercial break........................

Yeah, uh, hi Lynndi. Long time listener first time caller. This seems silly enough for me to jump in, plus there's, like, prizes and shit:

1. a
2. d
3. c Definitely c.
4. a
5. h I'm totally lost here, but if it isn't Electric Larry, I'll be very disappointed.
6. d Because I've heard, don't ask how, that he has a Kung-Fu Grip™
7. g Sixteen Kendalls=candles=fire. How's that?
8. c You do have a preoccupation with injuries.
9. b This is a complete shot in the dark.

I love this blog.

Cruel Jest is in the lead with 6 out of 9, with good arguments for all. I don't know how much time we should give Deanna (she's not home yet) to see if she can beat 6!

P.S. I loved regalhaze!
