Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Canaille
Carpenter’s reume’:
“Have hammer, canaille”
errr...ahhh.....resume’ that would be.
whoa!!
A+++ an uplift when i really needed one, thanks... ;)
Sorry to hear about the ticket. They caught you when you weren’t on your game to talk your way out of it. The skies opened up here right when I got to the car at the end of my jog. I think I need to go buy a lottery ticket.
I’m confused. If you take your dog to the doggy dentist, does he get a root canaille?
at least i didn’t belligerantly say, OH REALLY? no one yields to me when I AM in the crosswalk around here! but i was thinking it!
You showed admirable restraint.
Beverage of the Canaille?
Oh, no-is there no way out of it? $250 is enough to put the hurt on one in these bad times...
The emperor’s indifference
Ought to be squelched down-
There are hard working people
In the boonies, and in every town
Who struggle to make ends meet
While he flies around to play
And waves to all the canaille
Who gather all along the way
He gives them bread and circuses
But still they bitch and squall
While all our meager earnings
Are taxed to pay for it all...
As my compadre and I wait with no funds and held breath for a work contract-I had the metal and old heavy rock-with deafening bass-cranked all weekend till evening, but I’m my pragmatic self now...
I guess it could be worse. At least we’re not Cyprus.
The canaille of the Senate should be dealt with like any other feral pack terrorizing citizens...
I think they nailed it in their portrayal of The Accuser, The Deceiver, The Father of Lies, Sower of Discord, and Temptor.
It's a shame it wasn't tanktop weather.
it was probably the Romney/Ryan sticker still on your car that did it.
At least not yet...
that they did......that is one scary face. so is the other one...
