Re: TD 421 - Short and Sweet
wow hamilton sheeped? figured he would have been low picked....people seem to be versed in that production and thought they would go for the obscure ones...i know nothing about this thing (or any other musical for that matter) so i went for the obvious and my thinking that it was GTO was not even close

Re: TD 421 - Short and Sweet
Thanks for the wool! I like these mini-TD's, but usually get eliminated. The sheep damage was brutal in this one. Said the player that finished 3 points above the all-sheep line. Thank you Valerie Bertinelli for the crush (pure thoughts only ) and the singleton decades later in an obscure corner of the internet .
