Disclaimer & How I use this list
I really like the length of the WallStrip segments; short enough for a quick watch but still engaging. Also, I know that Trader-X has already has already professed his love for Lindsay, so I won't go there out of my pure respect for him. However, I'd like to get my hands on her WallStrip t-shirt -- where can I get one?
Sorry, I accidentally wrote "has already" twice in my above post. Damn, now I've written in 3 times -- could this turn into an infinite loop? Sorry, I'm being a huge geek. :-b
Dude, back off my woman. At least until I actually get a restraining order (and not just empty threats, WallStrip lawyers).
