Euuuh. Mel, I had this horrible fear when I saw your name on the recent comments list that, when I clicked over here, your comment would be along the lines of "Nuuuuuuuggs....I got some daaaaaaannnnnnk nuuuuuuggggs in my nuuuggg jaaaaarrr...." Anyway, glad you're enjoying the movies! Also, after further reflection, I have decided that <i>custard</i> might actually be the Worst Word Ever. Man, do I hate custard. Moist is bad too–really bad. Euuuh.
