That's pretty true.  *pictures the "Be Prepared" scene from Lion King where the hyenas are all marching around like Nazis*

Oh for the love of Ra, can we just throw rocks at them or something?

Yet these are the SAME girls who the next time BSB comes into town will practically beat you over the head to get closer to these guys that they "love" so much than you.

Yep, and also the same ones who will score second row tickets when the best you can get is thirteenth and then throw a big baby fit cause they're not front row center.

Uh, if we have ferrets and you-know-whats in 00Carter, we TOTALLY need whales.  I'm sure Dr. Rough could come up with a plan to take over the world that involves whales... they are the biggest mammals...

What doesn't Dr. Rough have an evil plan for? :D

How I loathe them... I had twelve, but still... Still... They all ran around in the aisles from their 100s seats when I paid big bucks for my floors...

OMFG That would kill me on WW. There would be girls literally selling 3rd row tickets because they were able to buy $500 a piece first row seats from a scalper.

And I wasn't even 13th row :( I was like 25th cuz stupid me never realized that in front of rows A-Z there were AA-RR LOL

Third row is great. You're still totally close to the Boys. And, much as I love them, I'd rather save my $500 to... I don't know, pay my housing dues...

Huh... At our's it's A-Z before double letters on floor...
