A Blooming Second Opinion. Well, I synchroed the show with Tim, noting that he was a bit less pleased with it than me, so here is his second opinion of Is the Order a Rabbit? BLOOM. And yep, that sounds about right. And that's that. Next week, Allen will be bringing his best teasing game. Or his worst, depending on what he thinks about it. See you then. Well... which is to say someone else will be filling in for me these next two weeks, since I will be away on vacation. -Stig Høgset.
