RIFF RAFF
(Young - Young - Scott)

Ya see it on television every day
Hear it on the radio
Ain't humid but it sure is hot
Way down in Mexico
The police tryin' to tell me
Beginnin' of the end
Sayin' it'll bend me
Too late my friend

Riff raff
Oh well It's good for a laugh, ah ah ah
Riff raff
Gonna laugh yourself in half
We'll have a real good time

Now I'm the kind of guy that keeps his big mouth shut
But don't bother me
Somebody kickin' me when I'm up
Leaves me in misery
I never shot nobody
Don't even carry a gun
I ain't doin' nothin' wrong
I'm havin' fun

Riff raff
Oh well it's good for a laugh, hey hey
Riff raff
Go on laugh yourself in half, yeah
Oh riff raff

Clinton’s Ninja Plot.

Seems like raffish ol’ Bill spent too much time with the Hollyweird types. My guess he was toking and had one of those “oh, man, you know what’d be cool?” moments.

OMG...ROTFLMAO!!!!

Good one. A guy goes into a cannibal butcher shop and sees a sign Missionary $3 per pound.

Next to it is a sign that says Soldier $3.50 per pound.

Then finally a sign that says Arab $17.50 per pound.

He asks the guy behind the counter, "Why is the Arab so much more expensive?"

The butcher says, "Hey Mack. Have you ever tried to clean one?"

Homework:

(Local) Xsex and Cholera Joe were planning a raffish extermination dinner party yesterday when they wanted to serve uncooked muscles at supper in a month with an "R" in it. (Was Chippendale going to cater the wait staff?)

(National) The national democratic party, if it does select Pelosi, seems bent on raffishly turning towards their screaming constituents in SFO..... and Hillary! of only benefits.

btw - Happy Belated Birthday.

For you late sleepers, how about breakfast in bed?

How about some Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam and spam?

Morning, Miss Bella.

Is FR acting funny this morning?

[Robert A Cook PE]

He's in line for the next Phantom of the Opera mask....

[Robert A Cook PE]

Congrats at beating xsmommy this morning.....

(Hmmmmn. Thinks a second....)

Methinks that sounds a bit too much like the classic "Have you stopped beating your xsex lately?" question.

When cannibals eat clowns, do they taste funny?
