That is too funny.

Choleraprincess is a Beatles fan of the first magnitude. She moped for a week when George died.

[CholeraJoe]

don't triplets have a sixth sense about that sort of thing anyway?

Only if they have the same mother.

[xsmommy]

God forgive me, i have never really cared for the Beatles, is that a sin?

[CholeraJoe]

i have never really cared for the Beatles, is that a sin?

I didn't like them when they were popular back in the sixties. I was more of a Hendrix and Cream fan.

Once a headbanger, always a headbanger. I'm probably the only guy my age that doesn't own a Harley who would rather listen to Metallica than eat.

Fuzzy, hot and one is stinky. My beloved Petunia (the Peke) is not living up to her girly name. She prefers rolling around in the dirt to having bows in her hair.

[Argh]

HEY HOBBES! Doncha just hate it when they talk about you like you're not here when you're actually not here? :^)

[xsmommy]

i definitely preferred the headbanging to the beatles crap. but it was more Deep Purple, Mountain etc. than Metallica. i did have Black Sabbath albums too, though.

[xsmommy]

i am not saying i thing that i would not say to the Tiger's face, so there to both of you. and i know darn well he isn't here. : P

[xsmommy]

i am awaiting those commuters, xshub and xspup, to return home, so that we can go out to dinner....oops here they are!

[CholeraJoe]

but it was more Deep Purple, Mountain etc. than Metallica

I liked them too until they all choked on their own vomit. As Patsy Stone says, "Nobody chokes on their own vomit anymore. We knew how to party."

[Argh]

Oh, great, well, I'll respond for hobbes anyway.

[SeaDragon]

That isn't very nice Cupcake. Besides, you know that hobbes has much more interesting things to do with his tongue........

[christine]

[christine]

[SeaDragon]

oh, sea! do tell! :P

No can do christine. I promised hobbes that his secret was safe with me.

[christine]

[SeaDragon]

Perhaps.

You never know with the tiger.........

[dixie sass]

Going anyplace fun and intertaining?

[joyce11111]

We attended a number of roisterous gatherings in our youth.

Thank goodness we are just a couple of old foufs now.
