Wasn't Jason Pruitt the name of the guitar-playing character that sold pumpkins and dated Donna Martin in 90210?

I think it was.

Sorry, babe. It's Ray Pruitt.

You come strong, or don't come at all.

Chris Illuminati said...

That's what Donna Martin said

Ariel said...

Nah, she was on the v-team. F'ing tease. That's why Ray started smackin her around.

Chris Illuminati said...

That's why the song was called 'How do you talk to an angel'..Ray wanted Donna to know how after he beat her to death....

I remember when he banged the pot-smoking version of Kelly Kapowski, doe. Those sideburns were irresistable,!

What do you tell a Donna Martin with 2 black eyes?

Nothing, Ray Pruit already told her twice.

I was freeked out when I was 12 years old looking at these cards. ( my first complete set by the way )

This set also had draft cards of Manny being Manny and Cliff Floyd being a young promising Ciff Floyd. Both of those things got old. :-)
