Per Allimom’s instructions ….

OK, I’d sworn off quizzes, but since you asked nicely I’ll do another one. Just this once, mind you. For anyone else who is interested in participating, check out Allimom’sentry for today.

By the way, Alli … I DID do a parody of “Proud Mary” called “Waitin’ on a Liver”. Lil says it needs a new name, but I couldn’t figure out any way to do a good corruption … I mean parody … of the name “Proud Mary” so “Waitin’ on a Liver” remains its humble title.
