Wendy del Formaggio:

Charlie, if your theme was vocalizing, I'd say PSYCHIC, because my last two shows were all about the various permutations of vocalizing. Tobacco auctions, bah-bah-bah, fake animal noises, tra-la-la, glug-glug, scat singing... Except I did not include yip yip. Maybe next time!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:42pm

Sounds like fun, Wendy. How 'bout some hog calls?
