The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
got a whiff of you here at 11:28 ; ) A+++
Happy belated birthday!
Home from an estimate for someone with 2 pet snakes-I love animals, but that is creepy, so when the customer proudly showed me the things-two small boas of some sort-I smiled politely, said oh, aren’t they pretty and went about my estimate-outside, fortunately...
The clueless Obama minions-
Still elevating their noses
As they address we commoners
And strike practiced poses
It would behoove them better
To look and listen, but no-
As the kingly numbers plummet
They’re putting on a show
Trying to appease their base
Means everyone else gets dissed
And now no one is listening
Since most of us are pissed...
It would behoove
Oops-didn’t finish my extra sentence-it would behoove them to send Rahm the 1000 illegals he asked for, and several thousand more-Chicago certainly could use more gang recruiters...
My first husband had a comment he used for women who had huge butts out of proportion to the rest of their body-she had a weight problem, but it is all behind her now...
Happy birthday!
Maybe we need an investigation, like the Band scandal that wasn’t
Thanks! Love the Hello Kitty! Did you see the pic on twitter of the ISIS commander speaking to his assemblage with a hello kitty notebook in front of him? Never could tell if it was fake!
A++++ great! And yuck to snakes?
Band scandal? Investigation? Up on cripple creek?
That was probably fake. An homage to the pick of the ISIS dude having a $6,000 James Bond villain style watch.
And you tell me these guys aren’t CIA....
Isis caliphate guy with Rolex
If these guys were any more western they'd have Yankee caps.
Most of the smart ones were probably educated here.
Those tweets were hilarious! Caliph got a swaggy watch!
Thank you!
I just don’t see the snakes-for-pets thing-I’m not fond of fish as pets, either although we had a big tank with a bunch of them when the cub was a kid. I catch and eat fish, and although I haven’t done so in quite awhile, I’m not adverse to eating grilled rattlesnake, either.
I guess I just don’t relate to “pets” that are not affectionate/cuddly-those big snakes have no capacity for that-they will crush and eat their owners if they are big enough to...
I read someplace that some of the jihadists from wealthy families have ivy league educations, too.
That’s my mandolin song!(The original bluegrass, not the one by the hippies)
I meant that to be snakes are yuck! Not a question mark!! I grew up in the woods and we often had snakes and I don’t like them one bit!!
Certainly!
