You Are a Losing Lottery Ticket! |

Vocabuary aside, I sound like a redneck more than half the time.
Messed me up good, it did!
Heh.
Dang. Got the same thing. :-)
Which brings me back to why I took the picture. Because I know all that, and yet I saw these birds that look like gulls flying in formation.
Except the Midwest, it seems.
You Are Socks! |

Well the socks are more useful than a losing lottery ticket!
You May Be a Bit Borderline... |
![]() When you're up, you're a little bit crazy... And when you're down, your whole world is crashing Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute! |
Yeeeeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaaah!
They're pretty snazzy, actually. ;-)
Well... I read it a little different. I've ~heard~ some of those expressions before, like 'cruller' and 'rotary', but I don't use them. And they're not really used where I live.
Like the "pop" question, I know they're called "sodas" and "cokes" (even when not coca-cola, that's the ringer...) elsewhere. But it was "pop" when I was a kid. Though... the term "soda" seems to be generally taking over now, though the homogenization of all things.

But those birds aren't carrying any coconuts.
Local talk radio guy was talking about it. ACLU says it's his "right" to do that.
Of course the problem is that he has video of his um technique on YouTube.
And apparently it shows all of his...um...painting utensils.
You gotta unnerstand we're a pretty conservative county. Luke's school is celebrating Christmas and periodically invites the children's pastors to come for breakfast.
I'd grown up saying "You wanna go get a coke?, or even more humorous, "What kind of coke you want?" But nowadays, I'm more likely to ask someone if they want a soda, only so I don't confuse the heck out of them.
*snort* Izzat why he's on 'administrative leave'?
Except for the art teacher ;~)
