And Gus takes home his 4th E.P.!

ReplyDelete@Jenners: I sound like I must have been great fun to be around.
@DrSchnell: I don't mind telling you or anyone that "Panama" is among my favorite pop rock gems of all time. I am happy -- happy! -- to have it stuck in my head. I can barely see the road from the heat coming off of it!
@Fingers: I was very fond of your answers.
@Kadonk: I think they must look at maps a lot.
@mydog: If Garfield the Cat taught us anything, it is that Monday was never easy.
