I think maybe...maybe....just maybe I drank too much yesterday during the baxetballing. Yesterday, I had bought a 1.75 litre bottle of vodka.  And then this morning I noticed half of it was gone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97ECZMvbLxg Now....(ahem)....

Your “Hey Baby” Friday Evening Open Thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt1YkGO2Ieo A few years ago, I knew a girl who was a singer.  Still is I guess.  Sort of. She is actually quite good, truth be told.  Or at least she could have been.  She has amazing range.  No shit. And I don't mean I knew her "biblically".  I got locked into the
