more commonly known as Wendy's in order to participate in Rd:3 of Wendy's LXVII.

McCartney (1997)! Wow!
You go, girl!! In the "B" Section,

prior to the game Donald
"Trump" Hofer (1605) was
observed ingesting
some kind of secret performance enhancing supplement, possibly kryptonite but
probably Herbalife,
which may have enabled him to lock the phone booth on mild mannered
Clarke "Kent" Brosi (1794) to lead with 3-0. In
addition, "Iron" Mike Eberhardinger
(1793) successfully swam the Jonathan "Henry" Hudson (1663), Ken "the Terrible" Ivens (1702) contained Dave "Ameen"
