It’s so hard to find info on this cult hit. Thanks for your help! Hey, how about a weekly column chronicling the latest in the Pitt-Aniston relationship? That would be awesome!

Question of the week (Last weeks stories, mind reading below)

Don’t know if you saw this, but a Canadian woman forgot the lines to the “Star Spangled banner”, then slipped on the ice (might take a few seconds to load). Before you laugh, let’s find out if you know the words to her national anthem. What is the final line of O Canada (in English)? By the way, here’s another flubbed SSB, the one that Mo Cheeks stepped in on. Mo Cheeks rules.

It’s On!
