Loved it.
And Tech played very nicely this weekend as well so that was a bonus.
On debates in general: There are people that just can't help themselves, they open their mouth like it's involuntary and things just come out, like opening the door to Fibber McGee's closet.
My friend has a front tooth broken off. He and his wife are going to buy a bottle of wine, wedding anniversary coming up you see, and the clerk asks if he wants the wine in a bag.
No, says Stupid, She's had enough already.
Very funny but he looks funny too with a broken front tooth and the orthodontist’s bill should be hilarious.
Some people are like that. Their mouth is not a faucet that can be turned on and off but a pipe bursting and making a mess. They are what duct tape was invented for.
Just a couple of thoughts here.
So the Packers are your favorite team to get beaten by?
That is odd. I hate all Steeler losses.

I was rooting for the Cowboys yesterday, so I know all about that. But there is no way to be happy about a loss for my one true love.

Excellent!
Obama’s treatment of “old” energy, particularly coal and oil, has not been given enough attention. It would be easier for him to explain his post-Benghazi lies than to explain why the Keystone Pipeline is still a pipedream.
Ben Rothlesburger is your true love?
LOL
Ok I need to figure out what time the debate will be on and if I can get it streaming here. It’s 6 hrs later here so debate is when? We will be in Rome tomorrow evening.
9 PM + 6 hours = 15 o’clock, minus the 12 is 3 AM.
So she just has to get up 2 hrs earlier than her norm.
Hey at least Baron Batch made a touchdown - I can be happy about that!
When I received your “words with friends” play at 1:30am this morning, I knew it was coffee time for you!
