I went to a class reunion picnic over the weekend and met the best looking girl in the class after me. We hit it off and when I left, she was sans-culottes.

I will be gone for a few hours. On the off-chance that some of you will actually hand in your homework, I will grade it when I get back.

It's always appropriate to ping someone when you talk about them. Regardless of the state of their pants. ;)

Obama is sans-culottes and over his head when dealing with Putin. In fact, Putin may have pulled Obamas culottes up over his head.

Why oh why do you have that picture at the ready? ;-)

More proof they are after the sans-culottes. Nonstop barking in this house now, thanks to the thunderstorm. The big dog is wearing his thundershirt, has had 3 benadryl and a xanax and is still barking nonstop. I'm about to lock him in my closet to give him a rest.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Have to admit, at first glance I thought that was a tshirt being pulled up over the man on the floors head.....went back when I saw Dave’s comment and realized it was undies! lol

[SoothingDave]

It’s not a man either, it’s a boy.

If this doesn't shame her, nothing will.
