I can't lie and say that I wouldn't laugh if I saw someone do just that.

Rose didn't finish telling me before I hit 'post', you'll probably need to get a full-up copy of Office 2003 Professional. But, an Academic license of that should run about $100 on eBay.

Whoever you buy it from may require some form of proof that it's for educational purposes.

Awwwwww............cuuuuuuuuuute.........

I'm just wierd I guess...I think small reptiles with legs are cute. Especially if they're bright green. Cant say's I ever saw a pink one.

[Corin Stormhands]

Ignore my freepmail question. I just saw the "reserve not met" sign.

[RosieCotton]

Dang...I hesitate a minute or so before answering and you've already gotten the answer a buncha times.

We're such excellent folkses here, ain't we?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Don't buy that one.

[Corin Stormhands]

That's what I was thinking.

[Corin Stormhands]

Thanks fer the help.

g'nite folks.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Ooops, check your FReepmail before you go to bed.

[Ramius]

G'nite sir... been engaged here at da waterin' hole most of the evening with one of my favorite liberal sparring partners, or I woulda' been more attentive.

Seems he agrees with me on every point, and yet thinks he's still a liberal. [sigh] He's a regular here from San Fran. I wonder if there aren't lots of "liberals" out there like him, that glom onto the title, but don't really believe a word of it.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

The difference is, they'll only vote for D's, and never for R's.

[Ramius]

If his headstone doesn't say "Little buddy. Finally rescued." It would be wrong. :-)

[Ramius]

Yah... but in SF... there aren't any R's. Just D's. This ia a town where they really do think there is a difference between "Progressive" and "Socialist".

I've seen very few little green lizards here actually. The bright green ones are pretty big - maybe a foot to a foot and a half long.

Those big guys run along the fences and wires.

They're called Cuban Anoles.

The salamander-looking thing that ran by my head is actually a Mediterrean gecko.

[RMDupree]

er....MediterrANean, that is. :-D

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Austin is like that... the city council choices are between the openly socialist, the merely liberal, and the transvestites.

Williamson County, the county to the immediate north of Austin, on the other hand is one of the most Republican counties in Texas. You can spot any Democrat candidate in Williamson Co. by the fact that they don't put their party affiliation on their campaign signs. They know if they owed up to being Democrats they'd automatically lose. ;)

[RMDupree]

:-D

I wonder which he liked better. Ginger or MaryAnn?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

That's what we have here... Geicos. Uhh, I mean geckos.

"Seems he agrees with me on every point, and yet thinks he's still a liberal."

Lots of people who call themselves liberals seem to think they believe in individual freedom and personal liberty, but nevertheless they vote as far left as ever they can, not seeming to get the contradiction.

It's why I've decided that "liberals" don't actually have any guiding principles at all. Socialists do have them, yes, but not some of the folks who think they are "liberal."

Good evening everyone.

And yours stay on the floor?

What nice creatures. Not frightening people by being on the ceiling when you're laying in bed.
