Olympian Blade Runner Oscar Pistorius should cop a plea and make a full allocution in his upcoming murder trial. It is clear that he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

from my room mother days of elementary school i have every shape baking pan imaginable. Heartshaped cupcake pan, teddy bear shaped cupcake pan, all kinds of cookie cutters, various embossed shortbread pans, 3 D cake pans [pumpkin shaped and a bee-hive]. if i live long enough to have grandchildren maybe i will use them again but i have no ambition for that kind of thing these days! xsteen bought me the beehive 3d pan for mothers day last year i guess not realizing i was out of that sort of baking biz, LOL!

LOL when your children marry, you better start divesting yourself of those pans to their homes, or granny will be baking for parties again. I suspect your daughter has fond memories of those days to buy you another one.

you know exactly what i meant you pedantic @$$pain! did you cough up something for your BOO for valentines day? I am fairly certain you’ve never referred to Mrs Soother as your BOO, but i think that word is hilarious and i enjoy using it. i use it about xshub and xsgirls CRINGE, which makes it all worthwhile : )

45 and sunny here-it was just at 32 when I was in the woods early this morning-a few little crystals on a plant called frost weed, but warming up fast-

Most of us remain sceptical
Despite Obama’s allocution-
Hours more of his blabbing
Won’t produce a real solution

If only the erstwhile emperor
Would just shut up and go away
We would have jobs and money
By the end of the first day

He and Michelle Antoinette
Have made us just like Rome-
They’ll use our stolen money
To call a tropical estate “home”...

Honey Boo Boo?

If you watched “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” you’d know about “Boo Boo Kitty f*#+”, Jay’s pet name for Justice.

Those are the cutest cupcakes ever-and I wholeheartedly agree with the Nuge...

Please define BOO-I haven’t hard that. Best-other-something?

I heard they had been called to that address before for domestic problems. A+ for you.

A++ for you and the good doctor, who is a real doctor and not a silly PhD in education which I think you can acquire through correspondence courses. I took a couple of education courses in grad school and never had easier As. They were a poor excuse for graduate work. It made me wonder how dumbed-down the undergrad courses were, but I already knew, watching neighbors work on their bulletin boards while we wrote up organic chemistry lab reports.

We won't ask how you know this to be true.

I worked for 15 years as a paralegal for a prominent criminal defense attorney. I did help get an innocent man out of prison, but frequently I watched guilty clients allocute on their way to lenient plea-bargained sentences.

Cheers, mate.

Thank you-I didn’t know it was anything other than what you yell to scare someone-and where I live, “Beau” is a guy’s nickname-or, short for Beauregard, spelled B-E-A-U, and pronounced like that thing you use to shoot arrows...

Pardon me, for being a pedantic ass****, too...

no, soother has the market cornered on @$$holic pedantry ; ) it’s a slang phrase and primarily used in the african american community.

My dog is sometimes “River Boo”.

(And there is plenty of room for amateur pedants to contribute here.)

i like the idea of a dog being called boo. Jules is def my boo. Channy goes out in the yard whoring after mr. Fox. we have a fox in the neighborhood and he literally CALLS out to her. we are afraid to let them out at night bc she will go down to the far corner of the yard and just pace around and sniff. i talked to the vet about it and he said that dogs can get mange from foxes, the foxes roll on the ground, the dogs roll in the scent and pick up the eggs etc. and so they get mange and can communicated it to HUMANS. so i was full on horrified after that. we had just been worried that he might carry her off, now i’m worried she is going to get mange and communicate it to us! Jules is not really interested in the fox, he sits at the top of the yard, near the front door, looking at her and hoping she will come in. he is afraid to go in without her and will sit there waiting for her.
