back to the Singles Battle results they werent even close. Maybe theres
a fairer way...not that I can think of one. Perhaps a coin toss or a

I was sweet and innocent before I discovered this group.
At least I'm still sweet!

I didn't like it the first few thousand times.....until I made the
astounding discovery that you can eat it RAW.
