Yeah, I remember her... Boston Garden... Didn't she used to sing the Star
Spangled Banner back when Larry Bird was playing?

Yeah, that's right, she usually strutted out to the microphone wearing only 2
acorn pasties, a fig leaf, and a North Face Exocet 2000ci backpack. Ahh, the
good old days...

Wow, after jettisoning the grids and brambles of their own preconceptions,
Loreena and Enya ventured into their first "pairs" Mud wrestling match. The
techniques they learned on that 1st muddy weather hike they took with Poohbear,
really paid off, they won (Girls like mud...).
Who knew they would later go on to represent Boston, in Team USA Mud wrestling
at the Olympics (Loreena carried the Flag proudly)...
Ah, those were proud days in American history. It just wasn't the same once
they switched to Jello...
