Hail to the valiant heroes
They're just a bunch of zeros
Hail! Hail! To Michigan, you will lose today
Ann Arbor is a downer
We're glad we're out of towners
Hail! Hail! To Michigan, the cesspool of the West

[E Rocc]

Ann Arbor is a Hillary.

[camle]

so.. uh.. Dan... why don't you cut to the chase and tell us how you REALLY feel about Michigan:-)

[Argh]

Good ones, guys!!

[Dan from Michigan]

Well, I like defeating them 91-64...in Ann Arbor.
Or 114-63 in East Lansing.

After our football team this year, I'm looking forward to Basketball season.

[camle]

it's nice to have a hobby....

[NeoCaveman]

Life's a Hillary then you die.

[lds23]

Oh, man, a big old pot of soup or stew simmering on the stove is one of the joys of life!

Almost, but not quite, up there on the list with a big pot of homemade spaghetti sauce.

[camle]

i LIKE that one...

speaking of the hildebeast, I need to be excused now, I have to take a Hillary!

[lds23]

Stalin never really died, he just escaped to the US and disguised himself as my ex-mother-in-law (from my first marriage).

I could do two shows a day in Vegas on the topic.

[Dan from Michigan]

We got our first B-Ball game tonight. UNC-Asheville. We beat them by 20 last year, so we SHOULD take them this year too since our team is better.

[NeoCaveman]

We beat them by 20 last year, so we SHOULD take them this year too since our team is better.

Given that I can't find a point spread on it. MSU should probably win by more than 20.

i did the hole-punching brownie project today, not that any of you cared enough to ask... sniff....

[Eala]

i did the hole-punching brownie project today, not that any of you cared enough to ask... sniff....

xsmommy, i was unavoidably delayed and only just now got to class. (Where is everybody?)

What's this about the hole-punching brownie project? Was it a project for punching holes in brownies (does thaqt make them taste better?), a project for brownies punching holes in something (or someone) else, or were you projecting hole-punching brownies (and if so: to, where or on what?)?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Wellllll. Where to begin?

Xsex had to get her holes punched by a hard cylinderical object for an arts project in her close-at-hand softly felt personal objects ....

(It was for a sew-sew project involving lots of leather and thongs and tieing up things for personal pleasure ya know ... Very girlie.)

So the croquettes were full of many forms of handy advice and recommendations and such......

Even pictures!

There? Isn't that a clear explanation?

(Hey xsex ... Are your hands still sore? Or did you use an electrical device like we recommended?)

[xsmommy]

well...since you asked, Eala... i am a brownie leader and i had been moaning about needing to holepunch through 2 layers of felt for a project we are doing. i got lots of nice suggestions from the class on how to accomplish this, but ended up with just a handheld hole punch and had to manually punch around the perimeters of the various shapes. our troop is making little bean bags in the shapes of snowmen, stars, christmas trees, and gingerbread men to take to a nursing home that we visit each year to sing christmas carols.

now, you would THINK, that in light of the altruistic nature of this venture that the malapervs would have been incapable of turning it into something LEWD, but NOOOOO, not this group! they rise to the challenge. and then blame it on me. snots.

[xsmommy]

Ok, i have to suggest a book for you all to read. xshub has been chortling for the past day, whilst reading No Way to Treat a First Lady, by Christopher Buckley. Here is a tidbit of what the Weekly Standard book review had to say about it:

The funniest thing about "No Way to Treat a First Lady" is how close it is to real life. The same things are there, but shaken up different. What if Bill Clinton had John McCain's résumé, Hillary Clinton were nicer, and Barbra Streisand married Marc Rich? The best parts of these books are the ones that stay close to reality: Buckley's long riffs on the "Larry King" program, for instance, and Jeffrey Toobin's "reports" to Peter Jennings on ABC's "World News Tonight." It is no accident that Buckley's weakest novel, "Little Green Men," was also his book that kept least close to the real life of day-to-day Washington. And the best parts of that book are his portraits of Vernon Jordan, Pamela Harriman, and Ample Ampere, the fictional sponsor of a political talk show that markets the electric chair

I am going to start the book today. Xshub is not easily enthralled and he was totally roaring out loud at this book. It is billed as "reality fiction". Buckley is also the author of Thank You for Smoking, which as i recall he loved as well.

Good morning! ?:)

Off to Home Depot for a leaf blower. Some beautiful big old trees at the new house. But the rain kept the leaves from blowing away onto the neighbors' yard.
