"We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight...
...We would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois' law enforcement community who have chosen to join us here at the Place Hotel Ballroom at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show and remember people that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there's still some things that make us all the same...
...You, me, them, everybody..."
" You know people, when you do find that special somebody, you gotta hold that man, hold that woman, love him, please him, squeeze her, please her, signify your feelings with every gentle caress because its so important to have that special somebody to hold, to kiss, to miss, to squeeze, and please "
I think I answered that question before.
Hello, tuliptree! How is your evening going?
Good evening Tuiptree :)
It's okay.
Hi Paul.
Sounds like my day.
Baseball watching participants could discuss how the Angels cannot buy a break in this series so far. More bad umpiring though they are not hitting very well.
Let's go Red Wings!!!! (game's on in 30 minutes)
And maybe at least one of my teams can win this weekend.
What happened tonight?
That's true. Oak is good. Here's a little poem:
The Oak Tree
Author Unknown
A mighty wind
Blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away
Then snapped its boughs
And pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark
But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around
The weary wind gave up and spoke.
How can you still be standing Oak?
The oak tree said, I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two
Carry every leaf away
Shake my limbs, and make me sway
But I have roots stretched in the earth
Growing stronger since my birth
You'll never touch them, for you see
They are the deepest part of me
Until today, I wasn't sure
Of just how much I could endure
But now I've found, with thanks to you
I'm stronger than I ever knew
Michigan pulled out a good victory today, didn't they?
But, I take it you're a Michigan State fan.
Oh, I see. Yes, that does make a huge difference, doesn't it?
It looks like the Red Wings are going to be really tough this year. Unlike my St. Louis Blues :(
Mine too.
A missed catcher interference call that led to a DP and a badly missed pick off at first base.
I think these guys are jinxed.
The umpires have become the story, haven't they?
That was a beautiful poem! I've never seen it before.
