i love simoun! it rocked. anywho…great show. it was hilarious. i must say that i still wouldn’t watch noir. lol. i gotta go! bye!
I just wanted to say that the movie with Samuel L. Jackson in a kilt and carrying golf clubs is Formula 51, not 50 First Dates, which is the romantic comedy with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore (both of which sucked), but yeah, it’s only a one number difference.
