- Band Name Game
Since your band will be with you for a very long time, what will you name her? I think I might go with "Beyonce" I'll just call her "B" for short. So my short conversations would go kinda like this: "Beyonce is working this weight off of me" "B" is trippin' (when I'm pbing)" "Beyonce" won't let me eat that" "This is not in B's diet plan" ROFLMAO! (I got inspiration for this thread from another forum)- Oh no I didnt...
Damn... I was planning on eating grits during my mushie phase:drool:- One Appt Away....
