Yay...Ghosthat!

Yay...No Shame!
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

WHOA!!!!! Whose poster is that? The one of the solar system on the wall of the computer sketch? I have that exact poster. It's ripped in the exact same place. Mine came with my telescope. Amazing!
They call me Dollar Bill 'cause I always make sense.

Bill, I'm not sure whose house that was with the Solar System poster, and sorry no one has gotten back to you on this thread.

In related news, there's a new one today. Peep Chris Allen standing there with Mitch and Dave on the pre-roll image. And Kaci, Joplin, and tons of other people are in it as well. Austin comedy!
