I actually first heard it on an episode of My Name is Earl.

This morning when I awoke to the news on the radio, I heard there were more LEOs with rifles around a building at VaTech. Someone at VaTech needs to have a deus ex machina. I know possessing a gun on campus was shot down by the State’s Congresscritters. It’s now time to put in another bill or reverse (if that’s possible) the bill that was shot down on Monday along with 32 deaths and 19 hospitalized. My numbers may be off a bit. I couldn’t watch it.

Yes, you did oversleep. And the spankings begin tomorrow! LOL!

I overslept better, but I did get up at 5:00 a.m., started Cyber's coffee and fed Girl Friend, our new outdoor cat. She was waiting for the kitchen lights to come on, then appeared out of nowhere for her kiblets. She does give me a nice "meow" before she goes towards the bowl.

I know you dislike cats, but they are funny.

Vastie, I would never have come up with that, unless he called “bushes” sugar. Inside joke. Doesn’t make any sense here except to Cyber.

Looks like Dufus has been riding a while. 5:00 p.m. shadow is showing. Better than anything else showing, I suppose.

Sounds a bit like the DeLorean (laughter) trial.

Read the whole thread. Am still sickened by this one, and it’s almost a year old.

This one is hysterical by Cyborg! I say, all y’alls, which is entirely incorrect. You say “yunz,” which is entirely incorrect. I think we don’t speak the Queen’s English, thank the Good Lord.

Oh, and thank you, Cyborg!

I speak the way I’ve been spoken to until recently... the dreaded youse came out of my mouth when I was helping a resident. Sheesh if my mom heard me say that, she’d glare at me hotly and ask, ‘What is a youse?’ Yet, all the residents say it because it seems to be an oldtimer Pennsylvania thing.

So did I. The brown haired woman, I believe, was the writer, director, producer and probably did the lights. She was a genius in her given genre.

East Hollywood became its own city about 15 years ago. 90 percent gay.
