WFB's attempt to emulate us ; ) No pushing at the door please!

The ophidian preacher, Reverend Al Sharpton, has finally attracted the attention of the IRS.

About time.

[tioga]

Rise and shine my little ones! Tis FRIDAY and the weekend is upon us.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

First

[Sacajaweau]

As I opened the machine to get the laundry...It had happened again...An ophidian sock had escaped. It would happen again and again until I was barefoot.

[CholeraJoe]

As his soul was progressively shredded, Tom Riddle's appearance became progressively more ophidian.

After:

[xsmommy]

morning, ti!

[NeoCaveman]

The Raging Cajun has an Ophidian appearance.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The Clinton’s, like snakes, ophidian
Posionous, arachnidian
Are they gone? Are we rid?

“Possessing neither ophidian wisdom nor columbine gentleness, John McCain is the most gormless Republican candidate of the last 50 years, and that’s saying something.”

[tioga]

OMGoodness! look who slithered in FIRST today! Good morning!

[xsmommy]

this photo of aphids and an ant on a soybean stem appears ophidian, yet at the same time, aphidian....

[tioga]

A+ LOL - cute.

[tioga]

Ah..........very good. Didn’t this happen to hill each night when Obama was trying to claim he won?

A+++

[CholeraJoe]

[tioga]

Morning. did you see HG? I just missed him.

[tioga]

Indeed he does. must turn on mary though.

A+++

[tioga]

ROTFL........very, very good. A+++

ovidian would have made a good word for the day, too.

[NeoCaveman]

and that’s saying something.”

In a party that gave us Ford and Nixon, that is saying something.

[tioga]

A+++

Yeah, but he’s OUR gormless candidate. we gotta love him.

[tioga]

amazing photo.

A+++

I got on my hands and knees this week with the twins and I can still walk. I think they will be my physical therapy for awhile.

[Tax-chick]

LOL! *YUCK!*

[Tax-chick]

He’s pro-defense.

[Tax-chick]

And don’t forget Bob Dole.

[xsmommy]

which twins? i thought ava had a baby sister?

[tioga]

you are the only one of us who met him, is he really as UNcharismatic as he looks?

[xsmommy]

hey, it’s an appetite suppressant! ; )

[xsmommy]

isn’t that a mystery!

[tioga]

my friend had twins a month before Ava’s baby sister was born.....they are just adorable. I went over to help watch them yesterday....one is crawling all over and standing up......the other sits and rolls IF you put her down on her back, yet she vocalizes the most amazing sounds and loves to be sung to. she will stare at your face especially your mouth when you talk or sing.......they are fraternal twins, and nothing alike at all...both a joy to behold.

[Tax-chick]

I met old President Bush once, when he was old Vice President Bush. He was tall, and very polite.

[tioga]

I DON’T wanna know that particular mystery....sounds more like a perversion.......

[tioga]

no sex appeal? no charisma? just polite? LOL

I love to hear about GW’s sense of humor and see him wink at someone....he is fun.

[NeoCaveman]

you are the only one of us who met him, is he really as UNcharismatic as he looks?

Lemme think:

Charismatic is not a word I'd use for him. He can have a pretty good conversational speaking style but its not soaring or inspirational or anything like that. Infact he's the least charasmatic guy we've put up in 50 years. He is kind of funny, though. We'll just need to let McCain be McCain; too bad no one let BobDole be BobDole.

Plus McCain is shorter than you'd think. 'Mericans usually vote for the taller candidate (GWB excluded)

[tioga]

and the crawling one is my husband's goddaughter.

[tioga]

oh, good Lord.........we are dOOmed.

[CholeraJoe]

“He may look like and extra from ‘Deliverance’ to you, but he looks like Fabio to me.”

Mary Matalin

[tioga]

ROTFL!!!

good comeback.

[NeoCaveman]

oh, good Lord.........we are dOOmed.

I think Rush has it right. This election is not about McCain. It's about voting for or against Obama. That is the decision the voters are going to make in the fall.

[tioga]

that’s NOT helping us any. most of the sheeple like obama......they don’t want to hear anything but salvation.

[NeoCaveman]

that’s NOT helping us any. most of the sheeple like obama......they don’t want to hear anything but salvation.

Well then, maybe we need a Jimmy Carter every 30 years or so in order to get a Ronald Reagan.

[tioga]

I had a hard time coming to grips with McCain....I cannot fathom obama actually WINNING! it will be like the 8 years of clinton again.....depressing as all get out!

[NeoCaveman]

Obama will be way worse than Clinton in all areas except bimbo eruptions.

Bams is such a radical liberal that he makes hillary seem moderate.

[tioga]

you sound like you have accepted it.

[NeoCaveman]

Not really, but I’m getting tired of betting against the stupidity of the sheeple.

[xsmommy]

the grandchildren you wish you had!

[xsmommy]

i heard that she said that and i think it is very sweet.

[NeoCaveman]

Energy prices.

If we turn this into a referenda on “drill here, drill now, pay less” then we can avert total disaster in the fall.

[xsmommy]

and someone is trying to get mccain to see that is the only road to success and he appears to be climbing on board.

[tioga]

I had to laugh.....the mom said next time she will bring down a bean bag chair for me to play with them in......like I have sat in a bean bag chair these last two years.......NO. the mom was on the squad with me, she left prior to my knee problems. I see her mostly at church where there are NO kneelers anymore....she is too young to understand arthritic knees and all the ensuing problems.....and hey, I am too young to know all this too!!!

[xsmommy]

OMG you are kidding? there are no kneelers in your church?

[NeoCaveman]

It's working. This is the first week I actually praised McCain twice; once for off shore drilling and second for wanting more nuke plants.

Three times if you count his calling BHO Jimmy Carter 2.
