[Gabz]

I guess, they're OK.

So Syracuse has beat VT. I want you and xshub to know that I thoroughly expect both Pitt and the Orangemen to kick Miami's useless and I'm-sure-not-nearly-as-shapely-as-your butt. Thank you both in advance. Howard's been unbearable. It makes me sick. Stupid Oklahoma.

[NeoCaveman]

Stupid Oklahoma.

Go Buckeyes 11-0 with 2 to go.

By the way, Mountie-ettes are pretty yummy, too.

and they ALWAYS get their man.

Here's another fine mountie for you:

Saturday was one of those extremely RARE occasions when I found myself an Aggie fan. WAY TO GO AGGIES! I hope the BCS is as scrambled this year as it was last year with four or five one-loss teams complaining that they were as deserving as the other one-loss team for a shot at the national title game. The BCS is a farce.

Is that Hillarity giving the finger? What a jejune gesture.

[xsmommy]

i wouldn't set my heart on either Pitt or SU doing anything much against Miami, Arghy, but we can all be pleasantly surprised.

[SeaDragon]

It didn't open!

:(

[Slip18]

It opened for me, Sea.

[Slip18]

Nice usage of an old WFTD, ric.

[SeaDragon]

well damn.< P>I think it is because I use Omni Web. There are some sites it just doesn't like.

Not fair. I want my mountie......................

[Robert A Cook PE]

Are you sure?

And just what direction are you sitting when you ride that mountie?

[SeaDragon]

Robert, you give me a link to which I am forbidden? Not very friendly of you..................

;-)

[Robert A Cook PE]

Wellllllllll,lettuce sea.

His link above only gave me a red "X" - so that's obviously too racy for a sweet, young innocent (you know, in-a-cent ... in-a-dollar...) supple youth such as yourself.

Well, bulloney and periwinkles, I say!

What a rocky way to go.

Shirley you wouldn't think I'd moose up trying to re-post his red-x, wood you?

I'd alway do-right by you, natashally.

[Argh]

Hahahaha, I wouldn't be surprised!

[CholeraJoe]

Happy Marine Corps Birthday and happy Veterans' Day you striped jarhead, you.

[xsmommy]

[hobbes1]

happy VD to you as well!

[CholeraJoe]

Good morning xs. Any tornados?
