Starting tomorrow (Friday) thru MONDAY!!! BBQ Ads: It's Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial kick off to BBQ season!!

Also, please keep voting for our 5 finalists for our Underwear Contest #2!! On this entry here.

Let's have a movie theme day Monday, haven't had one in while and let's gather up themes for movies so I don't have to think of them and I can just put them in a baggy in the hat and then pull one out in the future! I was thinking of a pirate movie theme for Monday, does that sound okay?
