"That, for those of you without an “Esquire” after your names, is ILLEGAL."
For those with an "Esquire" on their coffee table, just never mind.
Yeah ... but that's a fortune in exposure dollars!
150 Bucks?? Is somebody charging extra for the cheeleader outfit?
Maybe someday, after we get rid of all the other religions.
Or product placement opportunities.
Wyoming couldn't fill a stadium, even if everybody went.
What about Raiditrixes?
