#3 Well, that was a breath of fresh air.

I never could see what people liked about Michael Jackson. The last time he was cute was on the Andy Williams Show. I don't think he was ever interesting.

~~As least little boys are safe again.~~ Mama said if you can't say something nice, you shouldn't say anything at all, so I'll shut up now.
