Yes, a nimiety of Soothing Dave this week. Among other things.
Free Republic has, of late, been enjoying a nimiety of Trumpette vs Cruzerista verbal conflagrations.
There is a nimiety of stupid in Congress.
Each new day, Barack, in nimiety
Is causing the right high anxiety
The sum of our fears
In a mere seven years
He’s corrupted or killed our society
There has been a nimiety of political articles that have outstripped lolcat articles.
A young trophy wife, in the parlance of our time, enjoying the nimiety of her daddy’s money...
She owes money all over town. Including to known pornographers.
And that’s cool... that’s cool.
I guess there are worse things .... ; )
I’m missing this reference, who is this?
oooo I LIKE this one.
We have a nimiety of BS flyin around.
On occasion Dave and I will have entire conversations in lines from The Big Lebowski.
You need to watch it again if you’ve forgotten the origin of phrases like “in the parlance of our times.”
A second niniety is 180 proof of the soothing liquor (er, liquid) ....
I watched a couple Hunger Games movies over the weekend. Like a little Lebowski reunion, with Brandt and Maude.
Thought it was melania!
Oh that’s right!
Xs pups have returned! Still no work, many side streets still unplowed.
