Coach needs to teach his defensive players how to tackle.
my surname translates from the Polish as ‘something that is broken but can still be used,’ so this word, or rather its meaning, is a dear subject to me. You think about people with names that defined their occupation way back when, like Shepard, Tanner, Taylor, Smith - etc. Then you have my family’s name meaning. I picture some crappy old Krakow farm, so lame that even the other polacks felt the need to label us as the jury-rigged clowns down the road...
A very nice limerick!
Wow, how nice!
Put together from whatever happens to be available, eh?
Makes Obama’s deliberately anti-American foreign policy sound like a pile of sh!tcollage from a PhD student in his economic collage.
Collage? I thought you meant college — total bricolage of PC & debauchery (Ivies, anyway).
My husband heard that video playing and came and looked over my shoulder.... lol I had to explain...
I thought the idea about all the guys wearing wigs so they can’t identify Palo (of course I can’t spell his name so I will pretend I’m familiar with him...) - that was great

But I have long had this view. Hence my poem, which states, "To make us in his image, He had to give us hands."
It’s what makes you so endearing!

Known for being resourceful is an admirable thing.
Well, there is “resourceful” as a clever, temporary solution and then there’s “resourceful” as a lifestyle.

I actually find it more difficult to believe in evolution (”Mother Nature” accidentally and randomly “creating life” in all of its simultaneously living chemistry, biology, and inter-related splendor within even one cell that replicates itself) than in God. Or an Intelligent Designer who started things as written, then let them continue.
Whiskey bottles and brand new cars
Oak tree, you’re in my way
I’m thinking about getting 2 pullets to replace my little hen and can’t decide between an Ameracauna, a Buff Orpington, or Silver Laced Wyandotte. I want a friendly, quiet, good producer. Everything I am reading says I need more than 2 for chook psychology.
