For once, you actually want her to fake it
When I became a bartender last fall, I admit, I had an ulterior motive.

Time to not vote Bush

Route' shows off Rambler talent
UR is full of self-proclaimed "a cappella whores." These dedicated students usually arrive an hour before any free a cappella appearances and are the first to bombard the Common Market when tickets for annual shows go on sale.
