My husband laughed. And then asked who had told him that, to which Dillo replied, "Mom" which is definitely not true. So I dunno. I'm treating it as a message from the universe.
Allyson, I'm constantly behind, but I in fact live in Columbus.
I also love The IT Crowd, the name Terminator Jesus, and am craving a Skyline coney.
