A Different Kind of Challenge

Ah, the things that will happen when you challenge John Farina!

For fun, John periodically makes up sentences using the films in a round. So Bill issued the challenge to him: do it to all of them. And never one to back away from a challenge, John proceeded to do so.

"Some of them are a reach," he told me before he sent me the document. Still, it's pretty hilarious.
