So you’ve lost your house, your job, your family, and the country’s economic outlook is bleaker than the Giant’s playoff hopes–but at least the movies will get better. Not satisfied, well, Ruby from the Cosby Show has got a new show on the way and YouTube is going to start hosting movies! Oh well, you can always drown your sorrows over free Trumner Pills and ping pong–that is if you are willing to stand up to the might of my backhand. I challenge you to enjoy yourself (and return my serve) this Friday, April 17th, 2009.
