OUR-- HURLEY TO REPLACE HIM, HURLEY GOT WIND AND PROCEEDED TO
BEAT CANCER. IS HE STILL ALIVE TO THIS DAY.
MENT DON'T CLAP TOO FAST. THE FUN BYPRODUCT OF ONE OF THE
CLINICAL TRIALS IS HIS LEG DOG RED ROCK SET OUT PERMANENTLY.

GIRL CASTING CALL, SO THEY ARE ON AUDITION TO BE ON TRILL WITH

COULD DANCE. >> OH MY GOSH. A LONG TIME AGO.
