Utah State athletics: Various Aggies honored with USTARS for their performances this past year
Utah State University prides itself in the outstanding academic and athletic performances of its student-athletes as well as their devotion and service to the community.
On April 12, the Utah State Student-Athlete Advisory Committee organized and hosted USTARS. The awards program honored the athletic achievements of individual athletes and teams during their most recent seasons.
Football SAAC representatives, Jamie Markosian and Kerwynn Williams, emceed the event and SAAC members from other teams presented each of the awards. The presentations included seven awards based on outstanding performances by individual athletes and three team awards. Other awards included graduate assistant trainer of the year and fan of the year.
The first awards handed out went to Tyler Killpack of men's track and Ashlan Rogers of volleyball who were chosen as male and female walk-ons of the Year. Sarah Landes of gymnastics and Chuckie Keeton of football were selected as the male and female newcomers of the Year.
Keeton said it was a good feeling to win the award.
"It was cool to see so many people supported me even though I got hurt," he said. The freshman, who was named Rivals.com Freshman of the Week after the opening game vs. Auburn, was injured mid-season during a game against Hawaii.
In other awards, Hannah Jaussen was voted graduate assistant trainer of the Year and Angela Martinez was recognized as fan of the year.
Preston Medlin of men's basketball was awarded best individual performance of the year for his 32-point game vs. Idaho that led the Aggies to a come-from-behind win on Senior Night.
Women's track was presented with the award for best team performance of the year for their conference championship victory at the WAC Indoor Championships. Best upset of the year was accepted by members of the football team for their win against Hawaii. The women's soccer team, which was the WAC regular season and conference tournament champion and received an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, received the award for best overall season.
The final two USTARS were presented to the individuals voted athletes of the year by their peers, coaches and athletic department staff. Molli Merrill of soccer was awarded female athlete of the year and Bobby Wagner received male athlete of the year.
Aggie athletes also had an opportunity to showcase their non-athletic talents in short performances throughout the night. The first performance, which interrupted the emcees' welcome, was a flash mob performance by the softball team. Other entertainment included a rap titled "Aggies And We Know It" by members of the volleyball team, a dance by the "Sexy Seven," which featured freshman gymnasts, "I Need A Hero," sung by Kaitlyn VanHoff and Ashlan Rogers of volleyball and a comedic dance to "Gold Digger" by the Human Centipals, starring four football athletes.
At the end of the night, SAAC determined Jake Doughty, Forrest Dabb, Lars Gunderson and Zach Vigil of the Human Centipals were the winners of the Aggies Got Talent award.
The USTARS event also provided SAAC with the opportunity to continue its ongoing community outreach efforts. The entrance fee served as a fundraiser of canned food and cash donations for the Cache Community Food Pantry.
Doug Hoffman is the assistant athletic director for Utah State University Athletic Media Relations.

He behaved in ways she had never expected, and one day, he tried to strangle her. "I had been with this man for 11 years at that point, and there had never been anything like this before," Bannerman said. "I was so furious and so afraid."

Letters Telling Women About Breast Density Are Often Too Darn Dense By Patti Neighmond • Apr 26, 2016 Over the past decade, states have passed laws intended to help women understand the results of their breast cancer screening mammograms if they have dense breasts.

How Runners Get High By Marcelo Gleiser • Apr 20, 2016 Anyone who has run more than a few miles with some regularity has experienced what is usually called a "runner's high," an overwhelming feeling of euphoria and well-being that makes the running experience something far more rewarding than just moving forward toward an end point.

What kind of autism parent are you?
But the truth is: autism moms are just human. We are most often lonely, tired, scared, worried humans who are simply doing the very best we can on any given day.

Most days I feel good if I've only forgotten to do a few things, haven't pissed off too many people, and can go to bed at night thinking "Well, nobody died." …

Funny Friday
Today, some Dad and Dave humour and some bushie items.
Long before Crocodile Dundee and long before the Beverly Hillbillies, there was Dad and Dave from Snake Gully. Dad Rudd and his son Dave were characters in the Steele Rudd stories of On Our Selection, which in turn gave rise to a long running Australian radio drama series (the days before television) which finished in 1953 when one of the leads, George Edwards, died. Ken Hall turned Dad and Dave into films with Peter Finch playing Dave. There is also a 1995 flick, Dad and Dave On Our Selection, which features Leo McKern as Dad Rudd, Geoffrey Rush as Dave and Joan Sutherland as Ma Rudd.
Apart from the humour of life in the bush and of yokels visiting the city, Dad and Dave jokes are also often about Dave and his girlfriend Mabel.
Caution: some of the humour is risqué.
Dad and Dave were standing watching a dingo licking its privates. Dave said to Dad: 'Just between you and me, I've wanted to do that all my life.' Dad said: 'Go ahead, but I'd pat him a bit first. He looks pretty vicious to me.'
Because he and Mabel were going to live with Dad and Mum when they got married, Dave wanted Dad to build a new dunny* to replace the existing dilapidated one. Dad resisted the idea strongly.
'It's been good enough for Mum and me for all these years, so it's good enough for you and Mabel.'
Dave was determined, so he fitted a fuse and a cap to a plug of gelignite, dropped it into the dunny and retreated behind a stump to watch. He had just made it to the stump when Dad came out of the kitchen and headed for the dunny. He rushed from behind the stump and yelled at Dad to save him from a disaster. Dad thought he was trying to beat him to the dunny and put his head down and ran faster.
'You young blokes ain't as good as yer think you are,' he yelled. Dad got there first and had barely entered the building when up it went. Ka-boom. Dave rushed to Dad's aid and extricated him from the wreckage.
'Are you all right, Dad?' he asked
'I'm all right son, but stone the crows, yer mother would have been annoyed if I'd let that one go in the kitchen.'
*For the benefit of overseas readers, 'dunny' is slang for 'toilet'
An old farmer was worried about his favourite bull. It was ignoring the cows. So he went to the vet and got some medicine. Next day he was telling a neighbour about it. 'I gave that Brahmin of mine one dose and within half an hour he had serviced eight cows.'
'Blimey,' said the neighbour, 'what's the stuff called?'
'Well, the label's come off the bottle,' said the farmer, 'but it tastes like peppermint'.
Dad and Dave went to the Royal Easter Show in Sydney and were very interested in the new tractors that were on display. One salesman demonstrated his machine and then offered them a deal.
'You can have this model for $10,000, and I'll take off 10 per cent for cash.' They went away to discuss the deal.
'What's he mean by take orf 10 per cent cash?' asked Dad. 'How much would he take orf?'
'Gees, I dunno, Dad,' replied Dave.
'Listen Dave, you're in pretty good with that barmaid at the pub where we're stayin' and she looks like a pretty smart sort of girl. How about you ask her?' So Dave approached the barmaid.
'Tell me, Dulcie, if I gave you $10,000 less 10 per cent, how much would you take orf?'
'Jesus, Dave!' she said, 'If you gave me $10,000 less 10 per cent, I'd take off everything bar me garters and you could use them for stirrups.'
Dave decided to take Mabel to the Snake Gully Café for lunch. Dave looked at the menu and said, "They've got sheep tongues on the menu, Mabel. I think I'll have that. What about you?"
Mabel said, "No Dave, I couldn't eat anything that came out of an animal's mouth."
"What would you like then, Mabel?" said Dave.
Mabel said, "I think I'll have an egg."
A swagman* who had tramped many kilometres along a rough outback track came to a small pub called the "George and the Dragon". He made his way around to the back in search of a handout but before he had time to ask, the publican's wife came on the scene and gave the tramp the greatest verbal thrashing of his life. She called him a lazy good-for-nothing loafer and added if he was hoping to get even scraps from the kitchen, he could forget it. The tramp just stood there in silence.
'Well,' she snapped impatiently, ' now what is it you want? '
'I was wonderin ', said the man, 'if I could have a word with George?'
* Swagman: a person who walked from place to place carrying his bedroll and belongings (his 'swag'), often an itinerant worker
And, for those who still want something different and visual . . .
The secret wig farm of Donald Trump has been discovered on remote islands near the city of Tromso in Norway . . .
Still don't believe it, then look at the following pic . . .
Nahh, that's not true.
It's an indigenous species of grass that grows along the shores of those islands.
And, by way of a segue to Corn Corner . . .
Corn Corner:
Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. Unfortunately, all the Swiss League records were destroyed in a fire, ...and so we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.
* * * * * * * * * *
A man rushed into a busy doctor's surgery and shouted "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."
* * * * * * * * * *
I can't believe I got fired from the calendar factory. All I did was take a day off.
And a cheerio and get well soon wish to Kevin S and to my father in law Noel W, both recovering from being quite unwell. Get well soon guys.

Oz Facts
More Australian history and fun facts sent to me by Graham.
30 Hours inside a dead whale to cure rheumatism
"The smell and heat were hardly bearable… great blasts of gas and horrible bubbles would gush out around us and make our hair stand on end," reported a putrid story in the Sydney Bulletin in 1896. The yarn described a bizarre, revolting cure for rheumatism: climbing inside the belly of a slaughtered whale for 20 to 30 hours to expose oneself to the corpse's healing "ammoniacal gases… of an overpowering and atrocious odour". The remedy was supposedly discovered near the New South Wales whaling town of Eden when a rheumatic drunk fell into a dead whale (as you do) and emerged hours later from the "huge mountain of decomposing blubber" feeling better than ever. Not only was the cure unlikely to work, it was also rarely practised — thankfully.
Christmas party in a WW1 hospital
When it came to Christmas in World War I's military hospital wards, every effort was made to ensure the wounded servicemen enjoyed themselves. Soldiers were joined by their army officers, nurses and doctors to celebrate the occasion. Wards were festively decorated, some with ribbons, others with images of Santa Claus and maps of Australia, and food was plentiful. It's not recorded precisely where or when this photo was taken, but elsewhere, the 2nd Australian General Hospital in Egypt celebrated Christmas Day 1915 with a traditional roast dinner, and even the doctors pitched in – one carved the turkey and ham, while another gave out beverages.
19th century miners cook up golden Christmas 'cake'
In the late 19th century, immigrants were still coming to terms with what an Australian Christmas looked like. Absent were carols, snow and mistletoe, and in their place were picnics, sports and soaring temperatures. In the bush, new Australians gathered around night fires while travelling stockmen shared stories, and on the gold fields, mining companies celebrated with large "crushings" of gold. They would then exhibit these "golden Christmas cakes" in the windows of local banks. This illustration, published on January 1, 1872, depicts a cake after its crushing. The previous holiday season saw what was believed to be the largest ever golden cake produced in Victoria, weighing 106.7kg, then valued at £15,026.
Santa rides an emu to department store's famous toy fair
Foy and Gibson's, one of Australia's earliest department stores, was famous for its annual toy fairs, which boasted "unprecedentedly low prices", and holiday season attractions. Melbourne's Bourke Street store attracted customers with its rooftop carnival, complete with ponies, train rides and a ferris wheel that teetered so close to the edge of the rooftop that "it felt as if you were falling from the top of the building". Children could also meet Father Christmas, but it's doubtful he was as smartly dressed as this poster from the late 19th century suggests — or that he rode in on an emu.
Father Christmas rides an eagle on terrifying card
Santa Claus's design has evolved over hundreds of years. By the early 20th century, the contemporary interpretation of a portly man with a bushy beard and furs had taken hold. What hadn't, clearly, were his animal sidekicks of choice. While he might now prefer reindeer, Santa has been known to ride a goat named Ukko, a kangaroo, and even an eagle carrying a basket of presents in its talons. This poster for drapery firm Craig Williamson Pty Ltd features Santa riding one such eagle in service of a bad pun: "Our attractive show catches the eagle-eye of Father Xmas". The show caught the eye of Sidney Myer (of Myer department store fame), who bought the company in 1908.
Santa's gift to children of men killed in WW2
Santa Claus swapped his sleigh for a yacht on Saturday, December 15, 1945. Disembarking at Point Walter, Perth, Santa delivered presents to the children of men killed during World War II. Before his arrival, the 109 Australian Convalescent Depot worked tirelessly to ensure that the Christmas party was a memorable one, organising a bevy of cakes and sweets, and a sports program including swimming and tennis. Over 1000 youngsters, wives and guardians were estimated to have attended the event.
Children celebrate Christmas near unfinished Sydney Harbour Bridge
On the afternoon of Saturday, December 6, 1930, Rear Admiral Evans and the officers of HMAS Australia II welcomed families onto their warship for the annual children's Christmas party. The ship was moored at Garden Island, Sydney, and transformed into a festive playground, complete with slides and celebrities. While "Mickey the Mouse" thrilled youngsters, the great cannon on deck fired off salvos of multi-coloured balloons. The crane, usually reserved for munitions, carried children in a cage out above the ocean, in full view of the as-yet-incomplete Sydney Harbour Bridge (it opened in 1932). Its passengers included Rosemary Budge, the daughter of the secretary to the Governor of New South Wales, pictured on the left wearing glasses.
Santa steals a Christmas kiss from a nurse
In a bid to lift the spirits of children struggling with illness over the holiday season, Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital hosted an annual Christmas picnic in 1944. Children left the ward and bathed in the summer sun. While some years brought special attractions like camels, Santa was a constant. He dressed more like a wizard with cotton balls stuck to his robe than contemporary incarnations of the gift-giver, and in December 1944, he was certainly not afraid to get more than a little festive with a nurse.
Christmas train shortage forces well-to-do passengers into cattle cars
The opening of new lines meant the Victorian train network was placed under significant strain over the 1882 holiday season. A carriage shortage forced operators to resort to an old plan of utilising cattle trucks to transport Christmas "excursionists". This satirical cartoon, published in January 1883, poked fun at their uncomfortable predicament: "Christmas time must be a season of peace and goodwill to all the cattle who look contentedly at their tormentors being whirled away in the very vehicles in which they have so often suffered."
Cockatoo pie for Christmas dinner
Prussian scientist Ludwig Leichhardt (pictured) was hailed as the "prince of explorers" in 1845 after he and his exploration party completed a 4800km journey from the Darling Downs to Port Essington. On Christmas Day 1844, midway through the expedition, he recorded in his journal that his party enjoyed a "Christmas dinner of suet pudding and stewed parrot" — possibly a cockatoo or a galah. Delicious. It was not unheard of for early settlers to put native birds on their Christmas dinner tables if domestic fowl was scarce. In 1834, the year South Australia was declared as a colony, local woman Mary Thomas described eating a traditional ham and cockatoo pie for Christmas.

4 May
Today is recognised by Star Wars fans as International Star Wars Day – "May the Fourth be with you." It supposedly developed from the Conservatives having placed an ad in a newspaper on 4 May 1979 to congratulate Margaret Thatcher's taking office that day. It read "May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations." Because of the popularity of Star Wars Day, the next day, May 5th, has come to be called "Revenge of the Fifth", a play on Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith. On this day, fans join the "Dark Side" by celebrating the Sith Lords from the Star Wars series.
Some Star Wars humour . . .

Danny Welbeck scored twice as Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the Premier League to ease the pressure on manager David Moyes.
Back-to-back defeats against Everton and Newcastle United had left Moyes' men ninth in the table, but they got back on track at Villa Park by securing their first win in five top-flight games.
Welbeck had not scored for over two months and was without a league goal since August, yet the England striker struck twice in the space of three first-half minutes on Sunday.
Tom Cleverley then scored his first Premier League goal for exactly a year early in the second half to end any hopes of a Villa comeback and Darren Fletcher made his first appearance since Boxing Day after recovering from a bowel problem on a morale-boosting afternoon for United.
Last year's champions have now won their last six games against Villa and the latest victory ensures they leapfrog Southampton to move into eighth, 10 points behind leaders Arsenal. Villa have already suffered six home defeats this season.
Fletcher was among the United substitutes and Moyes made four changes to the side that beat Shakhtar Donetsk in midweek as Antonio Valencia, Patrice Evra, Cleverley and Welbeck started. Marc Albrighton made his first Villa start of the season as Paul Lambert also made four alterations.
United were in front after only 15 minutes when Rafael da Silva got to the byline and whipped in an inviting cross. Adnan Januzaj headed against the post, but Welbeck slotted in the rebound.
Villa were stunned three minutes later when United doubled their lead. This time Antonio Valencia was the architect as he burst down the right before delivering the ball into the path of the onrushing Welbeck, who slid in to finish clinically from close range.
Valencia played a one-two with Welbeck but was indecisive and failed to get his shot away after 27 minutes.
Soon after, the winger set up Rooney and the England striker flashed a shot wide of the far post.
Welbeck had a great chance to complete his hat-trick after only 33 minutes when he raced clear but dragged his shot wide of the far post.
United were out of sight seven minutes after the break as Rooney played in Cleverley and the midfielder tucked the ball inside the near post with a measured right-foot finish.
Cleverley then showed his value at the other end as he produced a timely block to thwart Andreas Weimann.
Fletcher was given a long-awaited run-out with just over 20 minutes remaining and Welbeck had another chance after 72 minutes, but his lob floated over the crossbar.
David De Gea palmed away Karim El Ahmadi's curling free-kick 14 minutes from time and Cleverley stung Brad Guzan's palms as United saw out a comfortable victory.

Christian Hackenberg, Penn State ruin Wisconsin's BCS hopes
Submitted: 11/30/2013
Story By Associated Press
- A bright future for Penn State emerged on a cool, crisp day in the Midwest.
Strong-armed freshman quarterback Christian Hackenberg figures to only improve for the Nittany Lions.
Hackenberg played with the poise and touch of a seasoned veteran, throwing for 339 yards and four touchdowns, and Penn State pounced on a slew of Badgers blunders before holding off a late rally to upset No. 15 Wisconsin 31-24 on Saturday.
"He really stepped up in a big way, and words can't describe how thankful I am to that guy," said offensive lineman and senior leader John Urschel.
An up-and-down season -- from the 20-point loss at Indiana to the overtime win over Michigan -- ended on a high note in the most unlikely of places, at Camp Randall Stadium on Senior Day against a Wisconsin team on the cusp of eligibility for an at-large berth in a Bowl Championship Series game.
Say goodbye to the BCS, Badgers.
"That's not going to happen and so we'll move forward. Such is life," coach Gary Andersen said. "The way we played today and the way I coached them, obviously, we don't deserve to have that opportunity. It's gone now."
Two more freshmen had big days for Penn State (7-5, 4-4 Big Ten). Eugene Lewis finished with 91 yards and two touchdowns on three catches, including a 59-yarder with 13 minutes to go to give the Nittany Lions a 31-14 lead. Adam Breneman had 78 yards on three receptions, including a 68-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown that set the tone for the day on the game's opening drive.
The Nittany Lions secured a statement win against a team that had been dominant all year at home. They were listed as 24-point underdogs among Las odds-makers, and prognosticators consistently predicted a Badgers blowout.
Coach Bill O'Brien made sure his players knew about their underdog status all week. A sizable chip was planted on the Nittany Lions' collective shoulders.
"I'm not allowed to talk about that even though it seems like a lot of you guys thought it was the right line," O'Brien told reporters after the game. "You're wrong."
Joel Stave was 29 of 53 for 339 yards and three touchdowns for Wisconsin (9-3, 6-2), though Penn State capitalized on three second-half interceptions, turning one into Lewis' long TD.
The Badgers scored 10 points in a span of 1:25 of the fourth quarter, capped by a 48-yard field goal by Jack Russell with 4:13 left to get within a score. Sam Ficken's 31-yard field-goal try went wide right with 31 seconds left to give the Badgers one more chance.
But a Hail Mary attempt by Stave was intercepted by Ryan Keiser in the end zone with 1 second left.
"Both elation and relief," linebacker Mike Hull said in describing the moment. "We made it closer than we had to, but we got the win and that's all that matters."
Penn State clinched a winning season and did it on the road, where they had struggled all year in Big Ten play. That's quite an accomplishment for a program that's typically dressed about 60 recruited scholarship players as a result of NCAA sanctions resulting from the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
O'Brien's team can't go to a bowl game because of the sanctions. But Penn State will nevertheless ride into the offseason on a high note for a second straight year after a win over the Badgers. Penn State beat Wisconsin 24-21 in an overtime thriller to end the 2012 season.
The Badgers only have themselves to blame. They were uncharacteristically prone to mental errors and mistakes.
"I can't sit back and say we had a bad week of practice, can't sit back and say I didn't feel like we were prepared," Andersen said. "I'm going to say it again, I give a lot of credit to Penn State."
A high pass from Stave off the fingertips of Jared Abbrederis was picked off by Trevor Williams, who returned it 33 yards to the Penn State 38. Three plays later, Hackenberg let go a deep pass after absorbing a hit from Brendan Kelly that landed in the arms of a streaking Lewis over double coverage for a touchdown and 31-14 lead in the fourth.
A Wisconsin defense that hadn't allowed a play longer than 51 yards entering Saturday allowed an astounding four for at least 52 against Penn State.
Hackenberg was 13 of 16 for 221 yards and two touchdowns alone in the first half, the second coming to a wide-open Lewis from 3 yards.

Antigo shooting victim speaks out, recovers at home
Submitted: 05/04/2016
Play Video
- For the last week and a half many people shared stories of shock, sadness, fear and hope out of Antigo.
Police, students and clergy all spoke out, struggling to figure out why the prom night shooting happened.
For the first time on Wednesday, one shooting victim told his story.
Collin Cooper, 18, said he's doing ok. He spent nearly seven days in the hospital, undergoing three surgeries to get the leg just below the knee on the right track to heal properly. He wraps an ace bandage around his left calf, which covers the wound. He also has stitches from where doctors made incisions during surgery. He also has a vacuum-assisted closure, or V.A.C., for the wound.
"I can't walk yet," Cooper said. "But they said I can put pressure on it in about three to four weeks, I think they said. But I wont be back to walking on it fully for three to four months."
He said doctors told him the bullet shattered 10 percent of his tibia, a major bone in the calf.
"They said the lucky part is it didn't hit any major arteries and it only nicked one vein," Cooper added.
Now Cooper has to sit at home and rest up. His blood levels are still low, and it hurts to hold his leg vertically. Several times a day he has to do ankle and knee exercises to strengthen the muscles around them. Otherwise he has to keep his leg elevated, even while he sleeps, which is in a hospital bed the family already had. He said it's hard sometimes to take it so easy because he's been on several sports teams throughout high school and is used to being very active.
He says when family and friends aren't visiting him at home, he plays video games and watches TV. He can't yet return to school, so he his doing some work from home.
But when you ask Cooper about how he's processing the shooting at prom, he just shrugs.
"I'm kind of bummed to be down right now but I'm thankful and lucky that it was just this and it could have been a lot worse," Cooper said.
He's been bombarded on social media, flooded with questions and friend requests. He's only posted several times since the shooting, with the #AntigoStrong hashtag that's been trending on social media since the prom.
The oldest of five has leaned on his faith, his family and his friends.
"I'm fine I just want people to worry about Collin," said Cooper's friend Spencer Fittante, 17, who was walking out of prom with Cooper when he was shot. Fittante helped tie a his tie around Cooper's leg as a tourniquet.
"I never thought anything like that would ever happen to us, ever," Fittante said.
Still, Cooper won't let the injury keep him from working this summer or walking across the stage at graduation. He joked about practicing walking up stairs with his crutches. He said he thinks his humor helps him cope.
He's proud of and humbled by the Antigo community. He said there are days when it gets hard, but he's got the support of his family and friends. He wants to move on, but he also thinks sharing his experience might be able to help others.
"It's cool to see how the town has rallied around me and the all the other victims," Cooper said. "I think it's kind of a cool opportunity to have to share with people what happened. And I can kind of help them through things too. So I mean I want to put some of it in the past but some of it I want to hold onto so I can be able to help people in the future."
Cooper said his date who was grazed by a bullet is also doing well. He said she is back at school in Illinois. Cooper still plans to work this summer and attend college in the fall.

New evidence causes historians to question whether WWII vet from Antigo helped raise Iwo Jima flag
Submitted: 05/04/2016
- The photo of American soldiers raising the flag over Iwo Jima brings Americans a lot of pride, especially the people of Antigo. But more than 70 years after that photo was taken, history buffs are questioning whether Antigo's own John Bradley is, in fact, in that photo as previously believed.

This is ridiculous...
Looks like the authorities are trying to pin the gruesome murder of Hitman Glass founder and his roomate on the Dsarnev brothers.
Supposedly the two worked for the same pizza delivery company that the victims ordered the night of their deaths.
Pizza company said no one ever answered the door, bodies were discovered with multiple stab wounds the next morning.
The murders were supposed to be on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. Bodies were found covered in Marijuana.
None of this at all sounds like the two young boys. They think people will buy this?
