Okay, guys...I'm back from lunch! Still swamped at work, though.

Those birthday are a few years old. Oops. I think you should add about 6 years to them.
| |
|
I was thinking Bon Jovi and Eddie Money had to be a little older than that!
| |
|
|
I think they have a concert on the Yor homeworld this weekend. |
|
Gosh, that's too bad...they're scheduled for elimination. Well, I only liked a couple of their songs, anyway!
| |
|
|
No prob...I'm slammed here too. I'm hoping to get caught up in the next few minutes, though.
| |
|
|
countless Yor will die this weekend! |

I'm going to disappear for a while I see if I can't write something. |
