I put the list into the randomizer at Random.org, and then I used the random integer generator to pick a number at random. Out of 217 entries, it chose #47, belonging to Lynn from Been There Done That. Congratulations, Lynn!

Halloween Party, Blah blah blah. Nobody gives a shit about your stupid little party. Give away prizes and show porn. Leave the party planning to the party planning committees.

@Clown, but I am the party planning committee!

@Avitable, Seriously? That’s the response that you come up with while up late responding to people 3 days after they commented?
Can I be friends with the other guy in your header instead? I don’t like you anymore.
Who am I kidding? I never liked you.

Congrats, Linda and Metalmom!

Adam,
I think that I told you this before, but I really appreciate the work that you put into these contests. My family (what’s left of them…you-know-who is off with his gf)comes to my house each Sunday to see if I remember how to cook. This contest was the highlight of the dinner, because my cooking certainly wasn’t. Winning makes it extra special.

I don’t know how I missed this, but I’m OH SO SAD I did. Also, Can’t Hardly Wait is one of my top 5 all time favorites. I even own the soundtrack. Feel free to lose ALL respect for me now.

@Mr Lady, I love you. Can’t Hardly Wait is a great movie. One of my favorites!

Glad I didn’t even try…most of these shows and films I’ve never seen. It would’ve hurt my self-esteem to attempt the quiz.

@muskrat, what, have you been living in a box? These are common pop culture shows and movies!
