"Meh"sterpiece Theater
This week we kinda went long, so we'll hold the ones we had for this week till next week...

But Jefferson will act out your favorite scenes... from movies, tv, ect. Obviously it should be short... and something he can act out by voice.

Send your "meh"sterpieces to: [e-mail], and Jefferson will interupt it live!.
