Couldn't touch a forkful, even after the waiter took it away and removed offending eyes and heads. <br />:-OTwilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-58321889289580127272013-01-15T19:09:29.077-03:302013-01-15T19:09:29.077-03:30I saw that SAW (hee)
