Show Playlist - December 29th

Sorry for the lack-o'-tunes last week. Hope you enjoyed the sub. I had to go home to eat my weight in cookies and be cheated out of a scrabble-win by my grandma. She has a list of about five hundred two letter words that she claims are usable. I also found out that she knows what a gat is... very gangster, Gram. I can only hope to be half as crafty when I'm ninety. And the image above could not have been more fitting for my situation. I just couldn't bring myself to use the anatomical word that I had spelled out on my letter-holder. Would've gotten me fifty points for using all my letters. It was quite the dilemma but I just didn't feel like causing a scene.
