Oh, my.........OH MY.....come to mama.

Yes, indeed...........

[RikaStrom]

Whoa YEAH!

Like the commerical says....

"Hi, my name is Jen, now be a good boy and come and sit on Momma's lap"

[Robert A Cook PE]

Kind of gives you an entirely different impression when somebody they says they've worn a pair of "felt pants", eh?

Are those well-worn felt pants, or were you just glad to see me?

Getting it a bit close under the belt, are we?

Certainly was a nip and tuck job last time he got cut below the belt ...

Doesn't that hard, pointy, sharp-tipped threatening sword look nasty posed like that? ....

Oh - yeah - THAT one in his scabbard as well.

[SeaDragon]

"Hi, my name is Jen, now be a good boy and come and sit on Momma's lap"

ROFLMAO!

Forget being a good boy...............

[RikaStrom]

LOL!

Where did you find that picture, I'm half afraid to check the properties on it.

[SeaDragon]

Doesn't that hard, pointy, sharp-tipped threatening sword look nasty posed like that? ....

On the contrary, Robert, not threatening at all. It makes me want to .........................

[SeaDragon]

Got it from Marggy. Someone sent it to her.

Isn't it great?

[RikaStrom]

Well, it's certainly.... eye catching. LOL

[RikaStrom]

ROFLOL! Hello Robt!

[SeaDragon]

Well, it's certainly.... eye catching. LOL

That is an understatement if I have ever heard one.............

[RikaStrom]

I wouldn't say that he was making a statement, more like a decleration of intent!

[Robert A Cook PE]

"That is an understatement if I have ever heard one.............

Wood that depend on who/what/where/how's he's under when he proposes his statement of intent to up hold his intentions intensely uplifting spirits?

Or is that too hard a question to ask under circumchristmases of that intent?

[hobbes1]

Where Did you get the Picture of Mrs. Sean Hannity?...

Just a couple of San Francisco Pirates....Smuggling Sausage ; )

[CholeraJoe]

I didn't know there were Jewish pirates.

[hobbes1]

a Quite incisive observation....

[CholeraJoe]

I'm relieved for you that they caught two guys connected to the sniper. I hope things get back to normal soon.

Last night I heard on the news that they were looking for an ex-military type who owns a .223 and has an Alabama connection so I turned on all of the Halloween lights and the floods so the ATF men wouldn't stumble in my driveway.

No visitors, though.

[CholeraJoe]

a Quite incisive observation

Based on hard evidence, I assure you.

[xsmommy]

so is he an old neighbor of your's?

it certainly happened fast. i had a school function last night and didn't get out to the car til 9pm and i started to hear they were looking in Tacoma, WA and i had NO IDEA what was going on.

by the way, xspup has pooped at that rest stop in MD many times....

[hobbes1]

I was right about one thing. A while Back I positedthat if indeed the guy was ex-military, he had to be Army, because no self respecting Marine would get that close.

[RikaStrom]

Shoulda had xspup leave them a present!
