The Friday Half Dozen
Tony and the USC girls show their support for The Friday Six ….
People are always telling you not to put all your eggs into one basket … but you have to admit you’d look pretty silly walking around the store with two grocery baskets, one of which only had a couple of eggs in it.

The Friday Six. Because alliteration is overrated and because to make a funny souffle, sometimes you have to break a few balls. Or something like that ….
