She only got a little face time though because Mr. Howard didn’t pick the lovely Thureson. However, Dating Game host Jim Lange was impressed with her “super answers.” Perhaps she should have dated him? I mean, he is better than a charred gypsy, right?

Thanks for adding the links John!

And thank Zmbdog and Lord, I think the Prey is pretty awesome and love focusing some attention on it. I think I’ll have a pretty cool little addition for it soon!
