Gator Growl review: Best show in years

For once, Gator Growl lived up to the hype. I've written a few stories in the past couple years about Gator Growl missing the mark , so I have to give credit where credit is due.

Comedy? Please sir, may we have some more?

1995 Pontiac Trans Am - The Specialest Specialist Special

Special is one of those words so badly abused by overuse that its meaning has been drowned, anchored next to other nonwords like "nice." Particular, peculiar, exceptional-all mean the same thing.
