range. I think I ha一ve the hang of it. I need somewhere to keep the pancakes warm, and I start on the bacon. Amy Studt is singing in my ear about misfits. This song used to mean so much to me, that’s because I’m a misfit. I ha一ve never fitted in anywhere and now… I ha一ve an indecent proposal to consider from King Misfit himself. Why is he this way?
