I like your hat.I like the fact that you hate tomato's,that was a good joke.if I make a well thought out comment that comes from the heart that
nobody else has had the courage or wisdom to express,rep me...don't "like" it.
The browncafe is not facebook,it has and will be here long after fb gets uncool or is bought out by google.
