Strange happenings were indeed afoot at the Circle K.  Read on/ Some things, one can NEVAR unhear.  Like the match commentator comparing The Gospel According to Fatthew to...Magic Johnson?  Uh, ok then.  RRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! have been doing it with smoke and mirrors, but the Chi**** held them in check, and forced two
