I was actually talking to somebody today about H-Bomb and Boink, and he was saying how he wants to start an FSU version of it and call it the F-Bomb. He thinks it would be very popular on our campus...I guess so, since we had like 13/50 girls in the Playboy college edition chosen I think...altho personally not my cup of tea lol

The Boston U. publication had a big opening night party a month or two ago. The administration has to be going nuts with all the publicity this has gotten.
