Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

That is the most arrogant, annoying thing I’ve heard today. Of course I only just got up.

Well, Jr. starts to work at 10:00 a.m.

Assuming that 1) he figured out how to buy his pants at Walmart without his pin # (I’m certain I gave it to him) and 2) they’ll let him work without his SS card. I told him to take his Passport if he couldn’t find his SS card.

He said “where’s my passport?”

~sigh~

Good morning :~)

I told the missus last night that I’m pretty that when I agreed to marry her I said I didn’t want children...

[HairOfTheDog]

How’d it happen then?

Heck, a new thread and I did not even make the first page. I need to freep more...

Though to hear some FReepers tell it...by driving less and hence paying less in fuel tax, I’m singlehandedly bringing about the downfall of our country’s infrastructure.

No way! I can't let you hog all the credit! My car has not been running at all for a few weeks. Surely I am doing some part of the downfall.

Oh, so *that’s* what we’ve been doing wrong.

Here are some video links. He joined because of 9/11...which happened when he was 15 years old.

A true patriot.
