ventaToday I bought another two CDs by bands whose names begin with 'The'.
"But Elizabeth," you cry. "Lots of bands have names beginning with 'The'. Where's the harm?"
However, I mean two of those bands. The ones that all sound like that.
It's the beginning of a slippery slope...

Or something. But I'm drunk, so I don't necessarily know what I'm talking about, and you should be grateful that this post is (at least mostly) properly spelt and punctuated.

I got that particular 'meme'
Date: 2002-12-25 08:39 am (UTC)First of all, I've given it to my brother. Perhaps the Cheeky Girls will propagate to America as a result. If so, I will have single-handedly topped the worst thing I've ever done in my life, much less in 2002, at the end of the year.
Secondly, I really don't like the idea of the Rivals thing, so I sort of hope the Cheeky Girls win. Did they?
