It looks like "I Was a Communist for the FBI" is telling the story of how our schools and colleges have been invaded by the commie brainwashers.

Doing fine, Vision.
I just stepped across the alley to our neighbors’ house. I saw that the cops were there, and I figured it was because the house alarm was going off. I was right. I went over and told the police I would reset the alarm (the neighbors are our close friends, so I have a key and the code). Her husband occasionally messes up when they leave and doesn’t set the darned thing right.
Well, I just asked them if the alarm was going off; they said yes, and I said I can turn it off and reset it, and they said good, since they had another call to go to anyway. They had checked and said the house was secured and left. I told them the husband sometimes screws up setting the alarm and it goes off.
I’ve read some reviews about The Bible, some saying that it doesn’t quite get it right on some of the Scriptures. Of course, I can’t watch it anyway with no television.
We have computers, and we sometimes rent steaming movies off Amazon or buy DVDs. We’ve been renting episodes of The Walking Dead (Season 2) lately. Kinda hooked, just a little.
BTW, I smoked a naked fatty yesterday and it was amazing. It's just a jimmy dean sausage chub smoked at 300 with pecan wood until 180. Freakin’ great! At 180 you render out a lot of fat.
Sounds awesoooooome! :-) LOW AND SLOW!
That's my type of girl.
The drop-dead gorgeous type!
Loved Master-puss Theater, Ed!
This Joy Boys skit is great to hear! A younger Ed and his buddy Willard!
The into was funny...
