'Souped'?

 

Meh.

 

Souped means excited.

Little Mike, I'm a movie buff, and I get excited about the Oscars EVERY year. But this year, I am more excited than ever. Not because of Johnny Depp's nomination, but because there's some GOOD competition this year. LOTR's 11 nominations don't hurt either

 

Souped means excited.


Ohhhh OK. I guess I'm not hip to all the coo lingo huh?

 

No, you're such a loser.

 

Yeah you're right. I really am.

 

Probably not as much of a loser as I am.

 

That can easily be determined at the next meeting. Who is the most losery: Mike or Herb?

 

Well when you put it that way...




Herb.

 

I just hope Johnny, POTC, and Big Fish win what they're nominated for.

 

I also hope Keisha Castle-Hughes wins. She's one of the youngest nominees ever, I believe.
