Vanilla Ice Cream? I would have gone with Vanilla Ice.
Stop, collaborate and listen!
This would have been a way better plot for Cats.
You know, if Cats had had a plot.
You mean "Now and Forever" Cats?
Ice, Ice baby.
I did not know that Daniel Shorr was 90!
What do you have against Car Talk?
Is there another Cats?
