What a terrible idea, what's next, a crossbow?! Ha ha, and she gets a flashlight instead, hilarious letdown for the birthday girl. Wait, she said torch again. Does it mean something different in Canada? Is she from Canada? Or Australia? I don't know where she lives." I actually looked it up online to confirm that yes, torch is British for flashlight.Callipygianhttp://www.rabbitstylenews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301179265805848612.post-50355305338816096942010-02-04T15:01:02.816+11:002010-02-04T15:01:02.816+11:00Wow what a request who would have thought a torch....Wow what a request who would have thought a torch.
