Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

Do I hear Hillary once? Do I hear Hillary twice? Do I hear Hillary a third time? What a mockery of the English language.

I have never seen a brothel in a ski resort. Never. Someone just wants federal moneys to pay for their ladies of the evening not being there. What a bunch of junk.

A++++ for you for this ridiculous piece of arse. LOL!

Some people like Rudy for his handling of the 9/11 attacks. Would you rather have Bloomberg? The race is not on yet. I don't think Rudy has a chance.

A++++ for you!

[Slip18]

Nice one, Mort!

You get an A++++ for your pome!

[NeoCaveman]

Rudy makes a frickin mockery of conservatism by running as a Republican.

Please do not associate Rudy! with conservatism....

[Slip18]

Hehehehehehehe! Good one, Truthie.

A++++ for you!

At the same time, Rudy was involved in the life of Judith's daughter, Whitney, and even spoke at her graduation from York Preparatory school in May 2004. Sources say Giuliani has not visited Andrew at Duke, and that his relations with Caroline also are strained....even worse than with his son. Before she wed Giuliani, Judith went through a bitter court fight with Bruce Nathan over who would have custody of their daughter. Her ex-husband filed court papers in 2001 that said his daughter ran away from her mother when she was 16 and voluntarily moved in with him during the time when her mother was regularly at Giuliani's side in public while he was trying to get a divorce from Hanover.

what a winning pair those two are. as i said, it's provincial of me to care, rudybots have no problem with whoremongers. i am just a knuckledragging SOCON for caring.

[Gabz]

Moose bites are painful.............or so I've been told.

[NeoCaveman]

Yes the elitism of the Rudebots is mind boggling.

"As the animal got closer and closer to going down, an animal sort of loses its thinking -- its ability to rationalize what's in its best interest," Larsen said."

That moose won't bite my sister, but it's sad. Glad no humans were harmed.

A++++ for you, SG.

[SoothingDave]

Wait. His son's at Duke? Isn't that an automatic disqualifier?

[Slip18]

I really don't know Rudy's politics. Must ask Cyber when he gets home. Just know his little 'uns don't like him.

A++++ for you, Neo!

[NeoCaveman]

Wait. His son's at Duke? Isn't that an automatic disqualifier?

he plays golf, not lacrosse.

[Slip18]

See Post 50. Must get more info on Rudy.

Ah, xs, what's a SOCON?

[xsmommy]

and he has some weird hair too.

[SoothingDave]

Like golf isn't an elitist, racist sport, too. C'mon.

Besides, what is golf except lacrosse played on an enormous field with no defense and a tiny goal?

[xsmommy]

social conservative, religious right etc.

[Slip18]

Doesn't he have one of those comb-overs?

[LonePalm]

Fourth place is the Golden Kumquat.

For being so nice, I made you a drink but you have to wait and share it with Cyber.
