He later gave birth to the trio known as Wilson Phillips. <br /><br />PsySocDisney, my weather app says it is 104 right now. Ugh. When I talk to someone who says, "I like hot weather!" I want to punch them.<br /><br />K. Martinez, all Monstro needs is some fiber, if you know what I'm saying.<br /><br />Melissa, I need to know what tune goes with your lyrics - you probably hinted at it, but didn't pick up on it. (It isn't "Goldfinger", is it?)<br /><br />steve2wdw, I don't know if the kid is lazy… he appears to be with the 3 adults who are hogging the bench.
