R.I.P. Snowman.

Score: [-] 99 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by icepigs: A friend of mine had one of his albums.
It had this song called "May the bird of paradise fly up your nose" (a cover of Little Jimmy d**kens)
To this day, I can sing every lyric to that song......and occasionally do. Score: [-] 46 [+]. Posted: 4 months ago by SkandarGraun: That movie above looks like a blooper compilation from COPS.
Smokey and the Bandit is the favorite movie of one of my truck driver friends, he also likes the movie Convoy. According to him Smokey and the Bandit would have been the best movie of the year, it would have been much more famous if Star Wars does not come out the same year. Score: [-] 27 [+].
