    Adam Thornton I had no idea Aubrey took his bowling so seriously!
    Casey G. I hadn't realised the pic extended below the crop that iOS so kindly gives it and G+ fails to remove on iOS unless you do a very specific click-dance. Man, that is a great passage. His heart wasn't in it, but he did his job anyway.
