Grim used to bring him around.

I’ve waded through 8 years of posts.

No Luck. I think JimRob may have zotted him out of existence on the FR servers.

He used to get zotted on any thread outside of WFTD.

I found this in the archives while looking at old threads. Kids say and write the darnedest things.

The writers of a Feb. 8 letter about abortion appear to believe that the world is about themselves and their personal liberties.
If the world is about total freedom for anyone to do anything to their bodies, or their homes, or their neighborhood, then what we have is a free-for-all in which everyone's liberty is destroyed except for the strongest of humans.
Sacrificing innocent human lives on the altar of women's liberation is every bit as insane as sacrificing them on the altar of Aztec gods. No cause is worth murder. If any are, then there are no causes worth fighting for. Life is first among our inalienable rights, granted both by the Declaration of Independence and our Creator.
-- James J. Heaney, eighth-grader, St. Paul.

I think at the time we thought the original pic was deleted from on line.....alas, we should have saved him so we could repost it somewhere and keep him. same with xs’ pms pic. lost to posterity.

Mr. Spanky is dead, or at least legally dead. Hasn't been seen in over 7 yrs. Hopefully, his life insurance has paid off.

Meanwhile, if I hear just ONE MORE dimocrat utter the phrase "shared sacrifice", there will be projectile vomiting. How about the 51% of Americans who pay ZERO income taxes? Where's the sharing?
