It nearly made me ill, and that was just the repeat of it.

It caused an amazing mix of nausea and narcoplecy.

[xsmommy]

how bout lobster salad for a bday lunch?

[RikaStrom]

That's gonna cost you Sweetie. I want a bottle of single malt scotch on my desk Monday morning! ;-)

[RikaStrom]

They are Gypsies. LIke what we had at Stateline.

[RikaStrom]

Ewww... what a visual. LOL

[Gabz]

YUMMY!!!!

[TheGrimReaper]

Algore's less-than-animated animadversion has grown tiresome, not to mention utterly idiotic.

[SeaDragon]

I don't remember any Brad Pitt movie about gypsies.

[xsmommy]

oh grimmy! that is priceless. i still have our Sore Loserman sign, and i can see if i can get xspup to take a whizz on it... oh this is great!

[RikaStrom]

I don't remember any movie either. The travelers are that band of cons that were in the Spokane/Stateline/CDA region several years ago. They would get some elderly people to pay to have the roofs or driveways redone and they cons would take the money and never do the work. They also marry off the kids at an extremely early age in elaborate ceramonies. They teach the art of the con/swindle to the kiddies and create miniature cons at an extremely young age.

A while back there were numerous specials about the Travelers as well as cult definitions, etc.

Interesting, I share a patent with the guy the wrote Unchained Melody, Bill Stirrat. He wrote it when he was about 19 under the pen name, Hi Zirat or something like that. He showed me the original hand written music sheets.

Must be an engineer (who can't sing....)

I am more impressed with your successful(!) patent application than with your music association.

[Argh]

Apparently, one of the croquettes had an animadversion to ceasing an desisting when requested.

It sounded kind of Texan to me, especially the "husband's brother" part...

[xsmommy]

goodness, that sounds like some train ride...!

[TheGrimReaper]

Sorry to post and run like that..... but it's a
skool day!

[Slip18]

It wasn't me, Arghie. I haven't been on a train in years!

[Slip18]

Sheesh, am I the thread killer today?

Warning: What follows is a very bad and probably old joke:

The Vet

A man brought a very limp dog into the veterinary clinic. As he laid the dog on the table, Doctor Buck pulled out his stethoscope, placing the receptor on the dog's chest. After a moment or two, the Doc shook his head sadly and said, "I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away."

"What?" screamed the man. "How can you tell? You haven't done any testing on him or anything. I want another opinion!"

With that, Doc turned and left the room. In a few moments, he returned with a Labrador Retriever. The Retriever went right to work, sniffing the poor dog on the table and checking him out thoroughly. After a considerable amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head and went, "Woof."

The veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few moments with a cat, which walked around the poor dog several times and then sadly shook his head and said, "Meow." He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room.

The veterinarian said, "There's nothing more I can do." He handed the man a bill for $600. The dog's owner went postal. "$600! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!"

Doc shook his head sadly and explained, "If you had taken my word for it, the cost would have been $50, but with the Lab work and the cat scan..."
