This notice brought to you by: The Committee for the Ethical and Non-repetetive Use of Exclamatory Words and Phrases.
thank you soooooo much, don! btw - love your take on the word “thersaurus”.
The whole thing is gonna be, like, totally…uh, you know, the living END, because we’re gonna like rock the auditorium and holy cow! It’ll be cool. Dude.

I suppose Don would rather we utilize some other superfluous vernacular to express how stoked we are? Shoot! I couldn’t even hold out for a whole sentence. That would have been awesome if I actually pulled it off. Dang it! I am seemingly unable to contain my enthusiasm for life or really cool words.. I gotta stop now.
That made me laugh only because Johnny gives P.A. and P.B a hard time about using those words on a frequent basis anyway! It will still be like way more than super cool!
