#1 crania americana | Jan 9th Score:83

Brushing the dust off an empty keg in the garage, Jenna Bush sighed to herself, “I remember when I was one of the coolest first daughters ever.” As she placed her hands on its cold steel frame she considered trying out a kegstand for old times’ sake. “Not without a spotter,” she laughed to herself, instead leaning on the empty vessel, chardonnay in hand, turning the knob on the long-neglected Aiwa stereo that sat next to an unused bottle of Armor All wheel polish on an adjacent workbench. Funny that the song was “How You Remind Me,” she thought. How it reminded her, indeed.

Jason Gardner | Jan 14th Score:-15

Enthusiastic singer with average voice and one dance move sings for band that plays mediocre music; adored by all. I guess enthusiasm goes a long way!
