Sep. 28th, 2009 09:00 am1. What's the deal?
"Let's make one!" -
"Deal or no deal?" -
"Deal or deal not; there is no buy." -
"How about I give you the finger, and you give me my one phone call?" -
"I just became a Texan and I'm trying to learn the language." -
"I'm too sexy for this quiz, too sexy for LJ, so sexy it hurts." -
"All work and no play makes CV something something." -
"I'm an Englishman in New York." -
"You may already have won TEN MILLION DOLLARS!" -
"I can't deal with this! I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -
Yeah, things are still a bit crazy. But never fear; soon we'll be back to normal and stuff. New quiz tomorrow; don't forget that you can still play the quizzes from one, two, or three weeks ago in case you have not already done so. You know the drill: Go. Play. Take Quizzes.

Just remember, Austin has Alamo Drafthouse, which is like a normal movie theater, only it seats fewer people, serves food & beer through the movie, and doesn't allow anyone under 18 into the shows.
