One answer each for first 24 hours, please. -1. "Your stupid candy bar doesn't have peanuts or caramel", Tom s--------. -2. "I finally graduated medical school," Tom said with a d----- o- r-----. -3. “I have scoliosis,” Tom said c--------. -4. "What's your modem speed, sexy?" asked Tom b------. -5.

Not enough breeze for my sand yacht," said Tom d----------.

Introducing Captain James Tiberius Kirk  (for Pandora)
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
