Miss Teen USA 2007

HAHAHA priceless! What was she thinking, or should I say, was she thinking at all?

The above took place last night during Miss Teen USA 2007. Bored, I was flipping channels when I stumbled across it. Luckily for me, it was the funny part when the contestants are asked questions and their answers [...]

Keyholder

My sister got it for me! A duck keyholder … You all know about my infatuation with ducks. On its side, there is a button you click and the duck will start making funny sounds. Inside its beak, there is a circular thing and it actually is a light that lights on and off while [...]
