waiting for dragnet jhonny dollar soso
I love that JD is enabling a hard core alcoholic...
We’re back! A little late, not too much though...
You could make a snowman, Vision! I know you probably want nothing to do with that. :-)
How was the talk?
What's cooking? I did some chuckies and will do pork steaks tomorrow. (extended weekend)
Archive.org has 3 zips totaling < 1.3G
“What’s the angle?!” :-)
Yeah, I’ll bet you’d be fine if you never saw snow again!
The talk was fine once he got past a bunch of technical problems with his computer. We lost most of the first hour with the delays. We left after two hours, felt bad to do that, but we had to get home to laundry, the grill (chicken) and all. The guy is on fire, Usama Dakdok, a native of Egypt who was raised Christian. He speaks all over the country against Islam. Here’s his site: http://thestraightway.org/
I'm finishing off the last of my Colgate Shaving Soap. Production ceased not all that long ago, and I found this last box...
Jack Benny time!
Bob sounds just like Bing.
Hollywood promoting the Boy Scouts...sigh...
It’s hard to sound like Bing. What a voice Der Bingle had! :-)
I’m glad we don’t need Double Dandereen!
