Tall Tale
buzz: If buzz was covering your junior high years, what would you hope that they never uncovered?
Tall Tale: Tracey and I would not have wanted you to find out how manly the two of us were. As for the guys, Jeff says he just can’t tell you, Justin won state for varsity scholastic bowl and Jared succeeded in clearing out an entire wing of his school by attempting to mask the scent of a week-old moldy smoothie in his locker with cologne.
