While simming, I am watching Hey There, It's Yogi Bear. Old cartoons are more delightful than we give them credit for. Stupid charming Yogi cartoon movie. Also, Huerta sucked here. Nate owned this fight. Just like hockey owns baseball. Especially in terms of what is a team sport and what is not a team sport. Just sayin'.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
