Lovely, Maryla! I’ll take half a dozen of mixed.
…Give yourselves a treat and read the original comments from 2010. What a time of innocence that was! – when popes were popes and everybody knew xactly what that meant, even Bobbie-John’s friend.
The now-legendary JH was alive back then as well – and, if not actually kicking, still waving his legs feebly about.
