GrandmaHenderson: are you there?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: yeah hi
GrandmaHenderson: i’ve been trying to finally watch some of the videos I’ve been purposefully avoiding for the last year but mtv’s website is the least useful place ever and iTunes’ video section is just as bad. i haven’t been able to make mtv.com do anything but flash pretty colors at me, which could just be the entire Rap video category
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: oh yeah, i just realized how awful it is. leave it to MTV to opt for flash over content
GrandmaHenderson: yeah, it’s like a mannequin dressed up like a website. i need an emoticon for vomiting
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: so should we start this thang then?
GrandmaHenderson: i thought we had. christ, this is like having sex.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ok, so video of the year…do the nominees keep getting crappier every year or is it just me?
GrandmaHenderson: you just keep getting crabbier every year. But Missy Elliott’s snubs are getting irritating.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: didn’t she win best video of the year for “work it”?
GrandmaHenderson: yeah she did, but it’s so easy to forget…Haha…I don’t even want to have to watch the Black Eyed Peas’ “Don’t Fuck With My Heart” once and AOLmusic.com has no less than three versions of it! So, will the VMAs come in multiple versions too? Can I call the one that’s slow and boring “the VMAs (chopped and screwed version)”?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: three versions? who are they, Kanye West? speaking of which, which version of “jesus walks” is nominated for video of the year?
GrandmaHenderson: R. Kelly
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: huh?
GrandmaHenderson: OK. This BEPs video is a huge phucking ripoff of “Hey Ya!” I wonder why it didn’t get nominated for Video of the Year.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: eric, what are you doing?
GrandmaHenderson: God, I don’t know.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: BEPs aren’t even nominated for video of the year
GrandmaHenderson: I don’t know which version of myself I should consult to work up enthusiasm over the VMAs.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: the version that doesn’t want sal to beat the shit out of him. this needs to have some semblance of coherency
GrandmaHenderson: Why? The VMAs don’t.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i know. it’s like the equivalent of the AMAs
GrandmaHenderson: But we can ditch the BEPs for now… and for good.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: honestly, “jesus walks” is the best of the bunch, which isn’t saying much.
GrandmaHenderson: It’s the worst of the bunch, imo. It’s like a complete inversion of last year’s “99 Problems.” 99 Problems but sin ain’t one. I do hope he kisses his gay cousin in his next video, though.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: me too. “Stop gay bashing, yo.” he’s so wise. anyway, i couldn’t care less who wins.
GrandmaHenderson: I guess it’s between the two white videos. Coldplay or Green Day.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: green day.
GrandmaHenderson: Don’t say I said “white videos” in the article.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: okay.
GrandmaHenderson: I mean, my Grandma will be so upset.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i think Kanye’s gonna win. the question is, which of the three kanye’s will go to the podium?
GrandmaHenderson: The humble, God-Above-All one. I was going to say that Coldplay and Green Day’s videos are about as different as Kanye’s against “99 Problems.” The former is all flashy colors and gloss, like the fireworks in Land of the Dead. While the latter is the view from amongst the outraged zombies. I bet Coldplay wins, though. Then Chris Martin can get a headstart on dedicating awards to whoever he hopes will win the election in’08.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: How about Best Male Video? John Legend’s clip is cool but it reminds me too much of a Gap ad. And two words: Candy Shop?
GrandmaHenderson: Yeah, that’s not right.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: that’s one of the five best male videos?
GrandmaHenderson: I guess Kanye will get this one.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: yeah man. Best Female Vagina
GrandmaHenderson: Haha, I thought you were talking about Kanye again for a second…we haven’t even gotten around to the part where Shakira had a video with Horatio Sanz.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: oddly enough, this is probably the best video here. i love it when she’s cutting the onions erotically…ironically?
GrandmaHenderson: Or the part where a Mariah Carey single in 2005 has been sitting atop the singles charts for 14 weeks and running. Oh wait. That last thing isn’t a joke.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: 12 weeks. that’s what happens when you put out a good song in the midst of steaming shit
GrandmaHenderson: she would’ve been happy with three days at this point
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: or 15 minutes. Mimi could win this one
GrandmaHenderson: is “we belong together” the one with Eric Roberts?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: yes. and i always think mariah’s going to get decapitated at the end of the video when her veil is hanging off the back of the car. THAT would be the best female video of the year
GrandmaHenderson: that would be a comeback for her.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i mean, seriously, who in her camp let her do that? Tommy Motorola never would have allowed that.
GrandmaHenderson: Isn’t Gwen Stefani going to win this one, though? I think it’s pretty locked up for her.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: really?
GrandmaHenderson: no one likes the song anymore, but it’s nominated for video of the year.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: good point. and she’s wearing a cheerleading outfit.
GrandmaHenderson: And she’s talking to the fish-eye-lens camera.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: Kelly Clarkson’s video is cute.
GrandmaHenderson: Hey, Missy’s not in this catgory either!
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: that’s because she a man
GrandmaHenderson: haha!
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: now we can get to the black eyed peas…best group scene, I mean video.
GrandmaHenderson: no please let’s don’t
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: The Killers should win. i love love love this video. and eric roberts is in it too
GrandmaHenderson: you love love love the killers. Eric Roberts should get the lifetime achievement award this year.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i agree. green day will probably win this one though
GrandmaHenderson: And they probably deserve it.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: you think? i don’t love the video
GrandmaHenderson: I like this video a lot more than “American Idiot.”
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i like “holiday” more. and i love Evan Rachel Wood screaming in their new video. she should win something for that. like a throat lozenge
GrandmaHenderson: What? They couldn’t get Eric Roberts?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ha!
GrandmaHenderson: [studiously ignoring U2.]
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: good boy. best rap sheet
GrandmaHenderson: number one police record
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: “Roxanne”
GrandmaHenderson: …hold on, I think I lost my script.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: I’d vote for the Ying Yang Twins just because it’s so fucking nasty
GrandmaHenderson: the ying yang twins should do a gay porn incest movie together.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: with who?
GrandmaHenderson: Eric Roberts
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: I was going to suggest evan rachel wood. i mean, she’s got a porn name already
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: Best R&B Video…
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: [silence]
GrandmaHenderson: oh.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: oh NO
GrandmaHenderson: oh snap.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i love Alicia Keys in “Karma” dressing like a woman…from 1980. you think “my boo” could win? they shot it at my favorite hotel in the meatpacking district
GrandmaHenderson: i think the soundtrack to this article could be the first four bars of “Oh.” Sounds like that foot-dragging sort of ennui. And no, “My boo” won’t win.
GrandmaHenderson: well, yeah, it’ll win.
GrandmaHenderson: i don’t know.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: clearly. Best Hip-Hop…wait, didn’t we already do this?
GrandmaHenderson: i thought I was black, but I guess I’m not.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: you’re not? wait, what?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: clearly missy should win.
GrandmaHenderson: it’s nice they threw her a bone here. but “drop it like it’s hot” will probably win.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: yeah, Snoop Dogg gets all the bones
GrandmaHenderson: i like how the ice cubes in that video give off more heat than Snoop and his backup hoochies.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ok, hip-hop needs to stop infiltrating everything… Ciara? best dance video?
GrandmaHenderson: uh, they’re all hip-hop videos. shakira excepted… shakira always excepted.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: you’re telling me they couldn’t find an actual dance music dance video for the dance category? what is this, the grammys?
GrandmaHenderson: Destiny’s Child
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: you think?
GrandmaHenderson: Danceoffs always have the edge. don’t they?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: true.
GrandmaHenderson: especially when the “opposing team” isn’t a bunch of sweaty dayplayer dancers, but ANOTHER SET OF destiny’s childs!
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i hope no one’s placing bets based on these predictions. And it’s destiny’s children.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: best rock video
GrandmaHenderson: all yours
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: MTV loves them some foo, but it’s either green day or the killers again.
GrandmaHenderson: yeah, i’m sort of shocked U2 aren’t here
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: they’re not rock.
GrandmaHenderson: they and the Foo Fighters tagteam so often
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: the foos are always on top
GrandmaHenderson: is that a placemark for a punchline?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: that was the punchline
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: oooo, best pop video is next. Jesse McCartney is the only boy here. what does that say about him? Wait, he is a boy, right?
GrandmaHenderson: Someone pointed out there’s not much difference about the rock video and pop video categories except for the gender of the artists.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: gwen will win this one i think. but Lindsay Lohan deserves it. i mean, there’s a helicopter
GrandmaHenderson: she’ll win one for the Robert Altman movie she’s in.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: you mean the “robert altman” movie, as directed by his corpse and pt anderson?
GrandmaHenderson: haha…well Lindsay Lohan’s an alcoholic skeleton animated by her blood alcohol level.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ha. ha. skinny lindsay jokes never stop being funny. she’s really good in Freaky Friday.
GrandmaHenderson: I really need to have tipped back a few for this article.
GrandmaHenderson: I only sound drunk when I’m sober.
GrandmaHenderson: a la Hunter S. Thompson, whose corpse is, I think, being shot out of a cannon as we chat.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: let’s move on, shall we?
GrandmaHenderson: can we just skip the mtv2 award? no one else cares about it.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: request granted. what about best new artist? i never understood this category. are we voting for the best artist or the actual video?
GrandmaHenderson: “best”
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: because “dreams” by the game is not the best new artist in a video. i officially hate MTV.
GrandmaHenderson: whereas “ordinary people” are the artists in John Legend
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: here’s where it’s supposed to get good but doesn’t: breakthrough video. what did U2 break through exactly?
GrandmaHenderson: new levels of egotism. why is Sarah McLachlan in this category? (comment contingent on the fact that I’d never watch a SM video ever)
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: well then you can’t comment on it
GrandmaHenderson: seriously, is this SM video worth a shit?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: not any less than the others in this category. it’s just a public service announcement
GrandmaHenderson: as much as I like Missy, I don’t even see any point to putting “lose control” here. it’s really a wheel-spinning video for her
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: my vote would go to Gorillaz
GrandmaHenderson: i guess I’d concur with the gorillaz vote. what about
Eminem’s “mosh” though? is it too hard to watch now like F. 9/11?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: yes. we lost. no prize for you faggot.
GrandmaHenderson: boy, touch my body.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: there’s choreography in the My Chemical Romance video? wait i need to watch this video.
GrandmaHenderson: i will too
GrandmaHenderson: musical sequence cut from gus van sant’s last days
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: huh?
GrandmaHenderson: he looks like michael pitt
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: who?
GrandmaHenderson: and it looks like it was shot by harry savides.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: Michael Pitt is the guy from last days, right?
GrandmaHenderson: yeah
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: god, i hate that movie
GrandmaHenderson: i’m seeing it next week
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i’m sorry. bring a pillow.
GrandmaHenderson: did you also hate elephant and gerry?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i liked gerry but didn’t love elephant
GrandmaHenderson: i’m the opposite.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: that’s because you’re black
GrandmaHenderson: yeah, I love it when members of my own race are gunned down in school hallways
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: hey, they were equal opportunity assassins
GrandmaHenderson: none of the white deaths were as protracted as benny’s, though
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: wait, i think there was a storyline to this chem. romance video and i missed it
GrandmaHenderson: I think the story was that my chemical romance have an “ironic” love for “thriller”…but they’d hold up their index fingers when they say ironic
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: lose control should win
GrandmaHenderson: i sort of like the moves in “1,2, step”
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: it’s not nominated. Jennifer Lopez wearing four wigs does not coregprahy make
GrandmaHenderson: HAHA! “coregprahy.” are there really any “moves” in Hollaback girl? or just fronting?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: if you count labia clenching
GrandmaHenderson: ohhh
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i really don’t understand why people like The White Stripes’ “blue orchid.” it exemplifies everything that was wrong with Floria Sigismondi’s videos up until her sigur ros and incubus videos
GrandmaHenderson: it’s pretty twee
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: they might bestow Samuel Bayer with best direction just because these green day videos are like his swan song supposedly. he’s going to make the joseph kahn move.
GrandmaHenderson: a Kahn move toward total irrelevance, right?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i haven’t seen his movie but i loathe his videos.
GrandmaHenderson: watch Francis Lawrence and Diane Martel win for Jennifer Lopez’s “Get Right” now
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i like them both, but apparently together they make crap.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: can we please skip straight to “best soundtrack from a video game”…can you say FUCK YOU MTV? “dance dance revolution extreme” should win, just for the name alone
GrandmaHenderson: John Madden is like the U2 of video games.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: so he’s maudlin and overrated?
GrandmaHenderson: he’s old and fat
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: U2 aren’t fat, unless you mean their heads
GrandmaHenderson: and they both use tinactin
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: should we end this here? how do you feel?
GrandmaHenderson: discontent
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: appropriate.
GrandmaHenderson: did we forget about viewers choice though?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: who cares?
[HotSexyMusicEditor’s Note: The following is a post-show wrap-up, posted on August 29, 2005.]
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: so, I just got back from San Diego and I missed the VMAs but thank god i didn’t have to actually sit through that shit live.
GrandmaHenderson: oh, shit. we’re starting? I have to let the other girl I’m chatting with go first.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: what is she wearing?
GrandmaHenderson: I’m talking to myself.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: so, how’bout that Katrina? i hear that Russian gymnast of a hurricane stole the show
GrandmaHenderson: it was so nice of Eva Longoria to pay tribute to the victims like that with her swimsuit.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: yeah, i got a little weepy during that part
GrandmaHenderson: She raised a lot of money clips.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: money clips?
GrandmaHenderson: ghetto wallets.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: oh yeah…those things
GrandmaHenderson: because the VMAs were goddamned ghetto this year
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: this year? they’ve been ghetto since the late’90s…or do i mean late’80s?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i felt like i was watching BET for a while…and then coldplay performed and i realized i prefer the hip-hop acts
GrandmaHenderson: Haha…what if Chris Martin yelled out “fuck you, My Chemical Romance! Pussyboys!”
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i would go out and actually buy their CD if he did that
GrandmaHenderson: Did you see the crowd behind him raising their hands in adoration? Jesus walks. And he really IS white.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: no, i pressed fast forward
GrandmaHenderson: I had to rewind it. It was so real.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: let’s talk Diddy.
GrandmaHenderson: he talked enough himself.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: true. why did it have to be the diddy show?
GrandmaHenderson: yeah, I didn’t know what he was promoting besides his own ego. which is par for the course at the VMAs, obviously, but usually it’s accompanied by an album
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i love that the Diddy prototype (MC Hammer) got to do a cameo performance. that was a highlight for me
GrandmaHenderson: I love that Diddy got to dance twice, conduct an orchestra, join in a hoochie gangpile and only gave Hammer, like, 15 seconds!
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: that was some entrance though…you gotta hand it to him…but i’m not sure what i mean by “it”
GrandmaHenderson: wasn’t the Rev. Hammer about the only hip hop artist that DIDN’T praise Jesus?!
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: he’s hip-hop?
GrandmaHenderson: oops, I meant be bop
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: did you see diddy’s “god is the greatest!” shirt?
GrandmaHenderson: yeah, I saw the shirt. it was the climax of the show.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: it’s kind of like bush coming back from the pope’s funeral and telling a reporter that he’s convinced that jesus is the one and only savior
GrandmaHenderson: no way! Bush is my new hero!
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: don’t worship false idols, eric. jesus is the one and only
GrandmaHenderson: Did you see Kelly Clarkson’s wet T-shirt, that showed us God’s face?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: yeah, kelly looked like she was about to burst a blood vessel
GrandmaHenderson: or fall off the stage. Jesus would’ve voted for Kelly Clarkson
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i think he did. i’m surprised she won best female video. there was some divine intervention there
GrandmaHenderson: she seemed to know she was going to win, didn’t she?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: did she? she looked really surprised
GrandmaHenderson: her “surprised” act seemed about as legit as R. Kelly’s act period.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ooh, a segway!
GrandmaHenderson: countdown to Sal exploding in 3… 2…
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i felt embarrassed for him, honestly. i mean, the lip-synching without a mic was a nice touch…no one’s done that since madonna did “vogue” in elizabethan bloomers.
GrandmaHenderson: Honestly, I think that “Trapped in the Closet” has cleared its space as about the only single worth arguing over this year.
GrandmaHenderson: or six singles, rather
GrandmaHenderson: it’s so fucking awful that it’s sort of endearing
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: no it isn’t. and the new chapter is asinine. the homo ends up choosing his wife? only r. kelly would come up with that in 2005
GrandmaHenderson: There are four chapters left. Rufus could backslide. I like embarrassing things that are self-consciously embarrassed to things that should be embarrassing but aren’t aware of it.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: like da ali g show…or curb your enthusiasm?
GrandmaHenderson: You can hate it just as I love to hate it.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: stop it. i can’t talk about him anymore. it’s upsetting me
GrandmaHenderson: We’re not talking Showgirls here.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: no, we’re certainly not. even mo collins, i mean Shakira was lip-synching
GrandmaHenderson: This’ll be the last thing I say on the topic, but I don’t see much difference between Kelly’s dorky ode to marital supremacy from that J.Lo-Marc Anthony duet or Beyoncé receiving a dove on her palm. that’s all.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i’d give it to the dove. they loves them some bird seed
GrandmaHenderson: then you find the dove is cheating on you with rufus.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ok new rule: just because you’re in miami doesn’t mean you have to wear white. and that goes for Eric Roberts too. bless his unemployed heart
GrandmaHenderson: Oh, god. That was brutal. to say nothing of what he was introducing.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: what was?
GrandmaHenderson: that last epic topic we just closed the book on.
GrandmaHenderson: the song that dare not speak its name
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: he should have introduced Mariah Carey. it looked like mimi was drunk with power
GrandmaHenderson: i think it was chlorine. and i also think it was Memorex.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: maybe if the woman stopped posing for like two seconds she’d be able to sing. don’t her thighs ever get tired?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: don’t answer that
GrandmaHenderson: she’s rapidly becoming the diva version of ___________.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ronald mcdonald?
GrandmaHenderson: [google search pause]
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: a mime?
GrandmaHenderson: no, who the fuck is that fitness informercial guy who’s always flexing his abs, only it requires that he cranes his spine backwards 45 degrees? the one who people say died in the tsunami?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: fitness made simple?
GrandmaHenderson: yeah, that guy.
GrandmaHenderson: john basedow
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i thought that was just an east coast thing
GrandmaHenderson: no, his message traverses the world, even Indonesia
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: he didn’t die, he got a DYE job
GrandmaHenderson: and a blowjob
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: how would you know?
GrandmaHenderson: next topic.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: okay. i think i saw Hilary Duff there but it couldn’t tell beneath all the fake tanner. she looked like she just got out of plastic surgery
GrandmaHenderson: I heard she was awful, but I diverted my eyes when I heard the name. And yet I rewound the R. Kelly performance twice.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: ah…she looked like the lost hilton sister
GrandmaHenderson: the ugly one no one talks about?
GrandmaHenderson: (oh wait, I’m thinking of Haylie.)
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i was going to say nicky
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: did you happen to catch that awkward Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani fashion moment?
GrandmaHenderson: yeah. efficacy doesn’t play well at the VMAs
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: what were they trying to do exactly?
GrandmaHenderson: the only more embarrassing moment was when Billie Joe Armstrong tried to kiss Lil’ Bow Wow on the lips
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i think i missed that one. And I think he goes by just “bow wow” now. He’s all mature and shit.
GrandmaHenderson: I’m really at a loss for the Gwen/Snoop thing.
GrandmaHenderson: I’ve got nothing there.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i’ve got nothing period. i’m out of witty things to say
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: Green Day won a lot. Missy Elliott won too.
GrandmaHenderson: She even beat Kanye West. That was a mild surprise
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: no mariah though. boo hoo. will the woman ever get any respek?
GrandmaHenderson: She just drowned.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: she likes to splash water apparently. she thinks it’s sexy and cool
GrandmaHenderson: A beach ball would’ve sealed the performance.
GrandmaHenderson: Or a set of water wings.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: if she was wearing them throughout the song?
GrandmaHenderson: on her thighs
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: well she does have some built-in floatation devices
GrandmaHenderson: yeah, that’s what I was sort of implying
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: oh
GrandmaHenderson: I hate being white.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: me too.
GrandmaHenderson: You are beige at best.
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i wish i could print this
GrandmaHenderson: You should print this!
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: but where?
GrandmaHenderson: the beauty is that it’ll fit anywhere. most racism does
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: i’m tan from san diego
GrandmaHenderson: Is that where you’re from?
HotSexyMusicEditor2005: no. i’m from here
GrandmaHenderson: profound
