Cafe Disco: This task does not seem to be as fun as the episode was, very similar to last weeks, everyone do your best though, get it done and make your branch proud :)
What I learned this week:
1. I am the most adorable, even if i am probably also the most impatient, I won a Dundie.....Persistence pays off!
2.Most Of us like twilight books, but hate the movie, I wonder if that's representative of the whole population......
3. Most of us agree with me that the Cafe disco episode totally rocked!
4. dietschr thinks the ladies will appreciate him naked :) I think I should be the judge of that....maybe clem too.
5. bthomas's yacht club logo got smoked by some sparkles, but its still tops in my book and I am the most adorable :)
