Practice makes perfect.....post on....
you do not have to take a tone with me, mr. i am in a reasonably good mood today. i thought it was funny that you two were doing the same thing side by side.
DH? doogie houser, MD?
Desperate Housewives.
We can do The Bump later to entertain you as well
Every time a conservative prevails, a lib cries. Look at Teddy Kennedy— a rib slice in one grubby paw, a Single Malt Scotch in the other. As Tony Blair ices his conservative opponent, we would expect Fat Teddy to rejoice. But, as the last of the bar lice is carefully plucked from his head, he continues to crab. Is lie after lie necessary to demean anyone who supported George W. Bush? Since his butt was still small enough to fit into a crib, lies have been the only weapon in his meager arsenal. But the mainstream media has kept the illusion of Camelot alive. Does CBS, NBC, ABC lie, sir? Only when they are on the air—bile, scum and bullcrap their big guns in the war against truth.
her english teacher used to write for the SATs and she is definitely teaching to them. this assignment was an inclass writing assignment writing an answer to the SAT essay question, which was do people determine their own destiny.
That was a line out of Mr. Roberts. I was thinking of that movie all weekend long.
good job!!! A++++ haven't seen you do one of those in awhile. only sorry there wasn't an extra E for you to fit LIBERACE in there!
Morning!
The 'rat party leaders foolishly refuse
To shut their collective mouth
As the support from their moderates
Continues to fly south
Irascible Howard emoted yesterday-
His rant was seen nationwide
But I don't see anyone on Fox today
Talking about him with pride
Fat Teddy babbles like a lunatic
And looks like Jabba the Hutt-
It doesn't take the IQ of a genius
To realize he is really a nut
Mr. Roberts, i don't recall. but Dickie Roberts, i saw for the last time last weekend. My fave line: Red, Tub o Goo, Freak of Nature... run along home, smack each others chubby little butts, get up, have an EGGO and come back so we can do it all again tomorrow.... that line absolutely slays xskids who had to replay it constantly.
I'm not interested in fitting Liberace in THERE, thank you very much.
A+++ yes, howie is irascible fo sho!
Not all that bad an earworm though-"turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so"- sort of catchy tune...
he's dead isn't he?
i always liked that song!
i am sorry to say i have no recollection of it.
I like it too!
