Do you know any other word besides rum?

Last night and Speedway don't talk to me as most other songs... and I like Dial-a-cliché, now, what exactly is wrong with that?

Yes and nothing...it's just seems rum. The member who put Bigmouth as the worst on QID is the winner of Rummest choice award though.

btw. EVERYONE!!!!!
I'm turning this thread into an excell chart. Why, 'cause it's less boring than the entirety of everything else life has to offer!!!
