"They thought it was a piñata"
Heh, heh.
It really was funny. As I said, I saw it on Twitter and won't take credit like the democrat plagiarists do.
The bastards!
Thank you!
As long as the wind isn’t blowing, it isn’t really bad-when it snowed 14 inches in ‘83, it was 10-12 degrees for a couple of nights. We had snow chains because we used to go to see relatives in the mountains of NM-so we put them on the Suburban, bundled up ourselves and the kid and went out for a drive on almost totally empty roads-it was absolutely beautiful...
those evil Christians strike again. /s
Is there any possible way for both teams to lose that game? That’s how I intend to cheer.
ohhh, my daddy played for SU, I cannot not cheer for them. Duke can lose.
It is cute, but I don’t see it as a crying thing either...
I ought to make a video of what Titus and Midget girl do when a bunch of doves come to the feeder on the deck outside the LR window-they both crouch down and watch, chattering and twitching, then when the birds all take off at the same time in a loud flutter, both cats freak out and run under the sofa-all the commotion doesn’t even wake Yeti boy up, and Husky girl just looks at them like they’ve gone crazy-those two cats repeat that same scene at least 4-5 times a day...
SU needs to keep its head down and play right!
We have a new atty in the ofc who’s an SU grad and she’s married to a HOYA of all things. Xshub is incredulous that such a pairing coukd even happen!

LOL.
You should be fined for violating the truth in advertising code..lol
This guy has jumped more ships than the entire Boston Tea Party.
And, once you support the guy that was against the Born Alive Infant Protection act you can no longer credibly trade on Catholic ethnicity.
How ever.. Heard recently blaring from the Popemobile..

Pitt didn’t have much luck against Duke the other night. The hype for that game was pretty big. Pitt students were camping out in line for it. Well, they let them inside to camp out, but still waited 24 hours or more.
Yeah I know, that doesn’t bode well.
Lovely-I hope this isn’t the beginning of a lunatic fringe following for the Pope. And is it just that he has that crazed look about him, or does that guy not resemble a TV evangelist who was on trial some years ago for the attempted murder of his wife and theft of several million in church funds?
Just about the only people of my acquaintance who do facebook are individuals who exhibit ego and attention issues by posting selfies daily to overrun anyone else’s comments or pics-look at me, me, meeee...
I already think this guy looks unhinged-maybe it is the eyes...
