Happy Birthday and thanks for the random (but possibly useful in a pub quiz) information!

Bossy shares with someone bogus, as she remembers. All the better for Bossy... if she ever "makes it", Bossy can move to the number one position. Not hard to beat out the sister of some B actor, once.

(Bossy loves Howard Stern, by the way. Loves.)
