   : If I read this correctly, Pop Clifton graduated from high school : at the age of 15. Awesome. Probably took a cheerleader to the prom. : Whatta stud. Stud indeed. I'm glad to be married to a man of such talent and experience -- though so far as I know, his experiences do not include promming with cheerleaders.

   > > my prom is in about 3 weeks, which isn't much in prom time. […] but his boss treats him like shit, which really makes the money not worth it. regardless of promming or not promming, tom should really start looking for another job.

   However once I'd had the chance to actually start attending proms I realised the BBC were doing a decent job or letting you hear what it was like in the hall! If anything, they were giving a clearer result than you could get when promming. :-)
