KingSpeed, I'd love to but that is the day of the local Pride rally - not the big one in SF, my little community one. Got to go!!! Going to take your show by the Bay any time?
I've seen a couple of "Bones" mentions in a couple of threads over the years, I suppose. But didn't pay that much attention (I've seen parts of maybe -3-4 episodes). So, why does HCP think he's the board celebrity? He can stop pretending now. I didn't realize we actually had a real one already.
