Sorry for the confusion. <BR /> <BR />Since every other post on Dean's TV preferences has a "I can't believe you actually enjoy that Star Search knockoff" or a "When you finish getting your 'BSG nerd' off can we please go back to discussing serious topics" comment I figured I'd add one to this thread too just to get it out of the way. Scott,

At least I managed to get a refund because I broke my wrist and didn't have to get into the real reason I cancelled the class. Way to go Cliffy! I was impressed.

Another twinkle toes in the making?

Yes I was for Emmet all the way.

Of course, the thing about Paulina is that even though she became famous as a swimsuit model, with those eyes and that face she'd have been stunning even wearing a burlap sack. Just before her 42nd birthday, that really hasn't changed. Oops, my bad.
