Because homecoming came first, and there was the homecoming court. The,five guys on homecoming court were disqualified from being in the prom,court. So being prom king was being sixth most popular.
I was prom king. Which is actually saying I was the sixth most popular,because the five who were on homecoming were automatically disqualified,from prom, so of course I have to look at it that way.
I briefly considered doing Edgar Allan Poe and just swearing a lot.
At a very basic level, I think television exists for game shows, and I,think it always will.
I watch mediocre shows that have been on for three or four seasons, and,feel angry at them.
