Fortunately I am not recently dumped. These questions were generated by the entire Cream staff—though I was almost named Eleanor.

Wow. The entire staff was required to dream up those gems? You guys should get those resumes out there, y'know, just in case...

It was almost called Aaron Winters.
I was hoping he was going to say, "The Long Winters."
