8. Me

way, way, way too hot. Way too hot. Pretty damn hot. It was really hot. Hot. That's what it was. Driving back home, I wanted to get out of the car and jump over the dam into the cool, clear water.

It was hot.

10. I'd like to jump in right now

Las Vegas is miserably hot. I was stuck here the entire summer and it's like you might as well not be alive. Give me 90 degrees and high humidy over this dry heat bullshit. The sky never varies.

That "stays in Vegas" line is another myth. Locals laugh at it. I don't know how many times we've asked each other, "where did that come from?" A great PR campaign that somehow became part of the language.

9. Britney's first marriage

That made it all the way to my supermarket's tabloid section.

[petronius]

11. I'd guess several hundreds of thousands of cases of VD...

Although I'm just guessing, I have no way to know for sure. Seriously, I have no first hand knowledge.

Really - I don't.
