(little too slow)

[xsmommy]

did you scroll through all the hideous?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

though I am praying (if one is allowed to pray for such a thing) that this stunning woman lives and commutes in one of the targeted pantsless cities.

Christie Whitman, was an obv Rino, as Gov.

Christie...is different.. The context of the State, he governs...will not go away. Until he seeks higher office .I have a pretty fair eye, (backed Keyes,Bush.Perry) so, it’s not like, it’s hard too tell the difference between say. christie, and..party nominees John McCain, or Mitt Romney.

Btw, did you see the Maricopa/McCain thing?

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I swear XS, do you go to art museums, take a magnifying glass to classic landscape paintings, and search for piles of manure? Enjoy the beauty; don’t focus on the blemishes.

[hobbes1]

Meh. Why bother with the length? You don’t see them when the knees are around your lats.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

If you spoke any more truth, we’d need a fifth Evangelist.

[xsmommy]

the russian woman is much more attractive than the brit.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

hey, as a Mary Lou Retton fanatic I’ve always been on the side of it’s the shapeliness, not the length that matters. But damn, there are exceptions to many rules, and this is like Side-Show Freakism for good, not evil.

[hobbes1]

I would suspect that men just have that innate eyesight.

Women on the other hand view other women like looking across the line in the 100 yard dash.

Till they go lipstick.

[hobbes1]

Thing is...I’ve long been a leg man...it ain’t length. Watch “The Running Man” that group of Dancers that opens for Richard Dawson, has more great legs than Col.Sanders.

Muscle,tone,Shape,

Length...is more a body proportion thing.

That chick looks weird....

[Hegewisch Dupa]

So that is what Van Morrison was telling us when he wrote:

All the girls walk by.
Dressed up for each other.

The beauty of it is it works regardless of whether or not the women in question have gone lipstick yet or not.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

A-frikkin-men

Van os the Man

[secret garden]

Howdy all!

[xsmommy]

hola!

[secret garden]

Well, he is a Flyers fan...

[secret garden]

I follow him on Twitter. Not just for Friday kitty either.

[secret garden]

Ugh, my name has been taken in vain yet again.

[hobbes1]

Real nice. And you don’t follow my pearls of wisdom?

We’ve been pals how long?

:-(

Lol. (Just kidding...I have too many ribald people in my TL, including me :-)
