Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

ARGH!!!! See what you've done........ Can't we switch the subject back to xs..... you know how cranky she gets if she isn't the center of attention!

[camle]

Texas trivia:

"Big Tex", the 50'+ tall statue that greets visitors at the entrance to the Texas State Fair each October, reportedly wears the 3rd largest pair of pants in the US -- Size 276.

The 1st and 2nd largest pants are, of course, worn by Jerry Nadler and Ted Kennedy, respectively.

I, being the scholar and the gentleman that I am, WILL NOT take your bait and torment xsex about her roisterous behaivor in the ice rink by making the ENTIRE traveling team.

(Indigent look.)

Xsex is the sole and best master baiter in the class, and I think that she won that title free and clear.

Heads and shoulder (inserted) above the rest.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You are right, I was childish to try to turn someone else into the class master baiter....... I'm sorry..........XS will always keep that title, she earned it......

[Robert A Cook PE]

Ok.

(See ya after class down by the creek under the apple tree? I want to try to catch some minnows so we can go fishin' tommorrow at lunch.)

Robt, you are choking me up here...what a sweet thing to say

[Robert A Cook PE]

(Rightous voice...)

I always give credit when credit is dew (unless the money is damp), but will also be willing to lend a hand anytime you need an assist in baiting the waiting masses.

That way you won't double harrumph the camle. (Unless he wants to go riding.)

(See? I can be nice too.)

[xsmommy]

despite your most perv-ish efforts you end up being nice after all. i knew it.

[xsmommy]

despite your most perv-ish efforts, you end up being nice after all. i knew it, all along. ; )
