It’s only a gameshow, It’s only a gameshow
It’s only a gameshow, It’s only a gameshow

The headline competition keeps getting new entries. Two of them particularly appeal to me:

“Include your children when baking cookies” [Brad Morse | 120degrees.com]

God, I’m bored.

I am traditional, yet soft. I am of Belgian descent. I have a creamy yellowish body, with a red/brown surface and a slightly corrugated edge.
