Sure, some episodes are crappier than others, and you will like some episodes more than others (maybe exactly the crappier ones), but overall, this mix would make a perfect party tape - if it was on tape then ;)</p> <p>Good fun, really!</p> <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2013"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
