Thursday Night Smackdown 
Oh dear lord, look at that duck. Why don’t I have any of that duck? All I have is envy. Burning, duck-scented envy.
wow, awesome date night! If someone fed me that well, someone would get lucky later on! (or we’d both pass out with lovely full bellies…)
I am having a Rosy Cheeks tonight. What a fabulous idea!
I practically grew up in KDH! I had no idea this existed down there, I’ll have to check this place out next time I’m down! Merci!
