(Upcoming headlines: "Facial Piercings: Not Just For Criminals!"
"Did You Know Cellular Telephones Also Allow Textual Communication? Will The Public Embrace It?"
"HOLY SHIT: Hybrid Automobiles?!?")

In Bitches:
smonster: ERIN IS THE MOTHERFUCKING BOMB DIG TASKMASTER HEAD BITCH IN CHARGE (in all the best ways possible)

Erin: Me, too, but it's got a RING for a business card.
I was just coming to post that, as it is relevant to my interests.
I truly don't know why I never made the connection (and joke) before. I blame the insight on muscle relaxants.
Ha! I was coming to post that as well.
