  • Where is Daniel Hauser? Probably sitting at home watching dozens of old pageant tapes while thinking -- "if only I was rich, if only I had money I could run Miss O", 14:34:20 08/12/19 Mon
  • Do you really think that a 62-year-old man would even want to save the MissOnalaska pageant? Dan has -- other things to do with his time like working at Kwik Trip, 11:14:33 08/13/19 Tue
