Maybe you fool yourself you can (wo)man up for the challenges? But yeah, partner had better STFU.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Big Brother Winner Arrested in Mass. on Drug Charges
Told police he used his winnings to buy drugs
The grand prize winner of last year's CBS reality show "Big Brother," arrested Saturday in Massachusetts on an oxycodone distribution charge, allegedly told federal investigators that he used his winnings to purchase large amounts of the drug.
Adam Jasinski of Delray Beach, Fla., was arrested at a North Reading strip mall and faces a charge of possession with intent to distribute oxycodone.
Jasinski allegedly agreed with a cooperating government witness to sell the witness 2,000 oxycodone pills. Jasinski flew from his home in Florida to Massachusetts on Saturday to deliver the drugs, according to an affidavit filed Monday in federal court by a Drug Enforcement Administration agent in support of the charges.
The agent wrote that Jasinski and the witness met at Logan International Airport. On the drive to North Reading, Jasinski allegedly removed a sock from his "pelvic area" containing two plastic bags full of small blue pills.
When the two men stopped at the strip mall, agents approached the car. Jasinski allegedly struggled with agents and threw the sock under an adjacent parked car.
But after waiving his Miranda rights, the affidavit said, "Jasinski stated that for the past several months he had been obtaining thousands of pills of oxycodone and reselling them to customers all along the east coast."
"Jasinski was able to purchase large quantities of pills because he had received $500,000 as the grand prize winner of the CBS reality television show 'Big Brother Season 9,'" the affidavit said.
Jasinski made an initial appearance in court Monday. Jasinski is in the custody of the US Marshals until a detention hearing before US Magistrate Judge Leo T. Sorokin on Thursday.
Jasinski's defense attorney, Valerie S. Carter, didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
