8 March 2007Contenders for Number OneWay too many years ago, I suffered a severe brain fart during a Spanish-language vocabulary test: the word "baño" had evidently escaped me entirely, which is not something to be desired when you have to label the rooms in the house.

For instance, featured flusher Call-A-Head follows up with the slogan, "We’re Way Ahead of All You Leave Behind". Posted by: CT at 2:23 PM on 9 March 2007 |
