Exhibit 2.12

It's never been the case before--and will likely never be the case again--but I found myself playing a 1991 edition of Celebrity Taboo. The 1991-ness of it all made everything so much better. Could you identify the following person based on words like Louise, Eastwick, Baseball, and Rocky? And keep in mind, those are the words you couldn't say.

Words you could say include: Older than boyfriend; Nun in Dead Man Walking; Tim; Wasn't she in--oh, that was Geena Davis; Robbins; Was in that movie with James Spader; Her brother Chris competes with Eric Roberts to be the actor most emasculated by a little sister's success; etc.

(Ed note: When I went to confirm that Chris Sarandon was actually older, I discovered that he is in fact not Susan Sarandon's brother at all but her ex-husband. As I prefer a world in which they are siblings, I'm choosing not to correct this error. Did everyone know this? They look exactly the same, right?

Chris Sarandon, Brother of Susan Sarandon

Susan Sarandon, Sister of Chris Sarandon)

It was like travelling back in time to that golden era where we spent our days thinking about F. Murray Abraham and our nights watching The Witches of Eastwick.
