Posted by BT at May 27, 2004 09:15 AMI got the empty mini-keg! Although those that say "empty" have never really used their tongues.
Thanks, Wombat!
Bonus quiz: name 6 Rolling Stone 80s covers with "attractive men." And they cannot all be Prince.
Huey Lewis -- It was HOT to be square!

Posted by: teenidol on May 27, 2004 01:43 PMOh, and surely that guy was on the cover. . .oh, what's his name. He was in that movie with that woman who went to college with my cousin's ex-fiancee...
Posted by: Scott on May 27, 2004 03:24 PM"still sings and dances" Heh. Applies both to Hamster Larry Love and Prince.
Posted by: Scott on May 27, 2004 03:25 PM"Brown corded phone" ---sounds like something my grandma might've knitted. Remember when they just used to be "phones"?
Posted by: laura on May 28, 2004 09:58 AMI'd have taken the empty 40 oz. Coors and Bud bottles if they were the regular kind, but they were all Coors Light and Bud Light. Still, you never know when you might need two dozen-plus units of 40 oz. packaging.
