The damned things were everywhere for a while, then some thought there was going to be a resurgence after the recent movie, as the girls go back to drinking cosmos after a long hiatus.Benitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-21954154245139985052009-05-08T07:06:00.000-07:002009-05-08T07:06:00.000-07:00Hey, I'm a girl and I have NEVER had a Cosmo. ...Hey, I'm a girl and I have NEVER had a Cosmo.

She thought it was hilarious that I'd accidentally ended up with Oprah's favorite cocktail. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-18792945661740199492009-05-07T20:53:00.000-07:002009-05-07T20:53:00.000-07:00Well, heck, that didn't work out so well now did i...Well, heck, that didn't work out so well now did it. <br /><br />I forgot I was posting on a real blog. <br /><br />Still lazy though. <br /><br />This time if you just click my name you will be transported without further adieu!TWChttp://tinyurl.com/ougewcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-75191925544575798642009-05-07T20:50:00.000-07:002009-05-07T20:50:00.000-07:00funny video.
