Vince from Shamwow NO KISSING!! 3) Who on your team is most likely to pick up a hitchhiker? Follow up question, who is most likely to stab said hitchhiker for looking at them crosseyed? Mel would probably pick up the hitchhiker, she's pretty into randoms. Kakareka would definitely stab the guy, he's got a mean streak, people. 4) If your team was an Argentinean Rugby team, and you crashed in the Andes, who on your team would suggest eating people to live, and be honest, how long would the suggestion take to come forth? Probably me . The captain can't make good decisions on an empty stomach. 5) What song will your team be demanding to hear at the Barking Dog this season? Pokeher Face Lady GaGa 6) Who on your team is most likely to cry to get out of a speeding ticket? Linah , she seems like she could let the eye faucets flow. 7) I’m thinking of a number, which one? 8008135 The Morning After… Page 7 www.happyhourkickball.com Interview with We’ve Got the Runz cont... 8) Who on your team would be the contest on the Price is Right to go $1.00 over the highest bid, thus sparking the ire of all those in the studio audience?
