I miss your usual Lumberjack joke.
Ha! I try not to use it too often.
I’m rooting for the Fighting Artichokes on sheer principle.
Ha! I see.
The Blue Dragons will smoke the Vikings’ asses!
Maybe it will just TASTE like their asses because of the menthol filter.
East Mississippi will repeat!
Maybe so!
Hutchinson College is one awesome program.
Yes, they most certainly are!
