Or you were forced there by gunpoint?  It surely couldn't have been

No way!  I wonder if any of them have any idea what movie that comes
from or what it means...

Posh "sang".  Hah!  No.  She can't sing.  Not a matter of opinion

is as common a little tart as anyone.

You went to a Spice "Girls" concert ... how ridiculous!

[BTW, if you want to find out any more about them, I have a couple of
