Outrageous! But then again, they had positive things to say about the Dayglo Abortions and DOA, and that pretty much tells me everything I need to know about the author. <br /><br />Where are the Shuffle Demons? Probably begging for change on Spadina (a single TTC fare costs three bucks nowadays). Oh, you mean on the cancon list. No clue.<br /><br />They left out Strange Advance... I think... nope, I don't see 'em.<br /><br />Don't remember much about Orlando, but I do recall digging St. Augustine and a small town called Lake City while I was in Florida.<br /><br />Central Florida is where it's at! ;)<br /><br />Quirky fun-fact: Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Waitress) is an alum of UCF.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-49851099202672621792011-02-27T13:33:35.588-05:002011-02-27T13:33:35.588-05:00Edited to add:
