In the name of all that is holy, would you look at Peter and Allison? Oh, daddy. Who are they? UVA takes a human form in Peter and Allison. They're flawless. Allison gets the first photos ticket every morning. I heard Peter's in the Devon Society. I heard Allison beat Dawn Staley in a one on one. Peter can sing the good old song backwards. In 12 languages. One time, Allison met Katie Couric on a plane and she told her she was pretty. One tier, Peter punched me in the face. It was awesome. I heard he's cab man. I heard she's cab man. Wait. There's no way they're both cab man. Thank you. Oh, thank you. You all are so wonderful. What kind of dance is this? Touch. Come on. Work them there. Touch. What kind of dance is this? Touch. Come on. Work them there. Touch.
