Okay, first time here (please add me to your ping list if you have one).

Remember when Senator Harry Hornswoggle Reid declared the war in Iraq "lost" and beyond the point where the U.S. should withdraw completely?

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

In CS Forester’s novel, Horatio’s boat rocked quickly in the wind-driven waves, a clear case of Hornblowerwiggling.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Welcome to the class.

(Watch out for the coquettes though. They have cooties.)

[NicknamedBob]

Good Morning!

Just remember, “When you vote for the lesser hornswoggle, you’re still voting for a hornswoggle.”

[tioga]

Welcome to class! A+++.......stealing tD's pic from up thread.......Hornswoggler Harry does NOT look happy....in fact he could play the lead fundamentalist in the upcoming movie.

[tioga]

[xsmommy]

it’s a bumper sticker i have seen here. DC area is sprouting up bumperstickers a bit earlier than elsewhere i think. obams are not quite commonn but not UNcommon. Seen a few McCains at Army Navy CC and in G’town too, surprisingly.

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

[NeoCaveman]

he wants to send us Barack to the Future.

Very cute. Of course he doesn't tell us that the Future is the Carter administration....

Fox keeps running the story about waterbeds for cows.....for COWS?

[xsmommy]

what’s wrong with the grass in the field?? served them well since creation, i would think!

[CholeraJoe]

Played by actor Jim Broadbent.

[xsmommy]

looks like he will have to put on weight for the role? or will they just artificially puff him up? xsbrownie is already talking about standing in line for the midnight showing when the movie opens. it will be a school night and she is starting at a new school this fall, so we will have to see how that goes. xsteen will be in Europe and not here to go with her.

[CholeraJoe]

They probably gave him a fat suit and fake sideburns. Filming ended 6 weeks ago. They are adding special effects now.

[tioga]
