where is my fave pollack today? i thought of you today, HD. as i was on the way home with the kids from school, i saw a VA license plate that read MI DUPA....I imagine your fave Pollack is in the Vatican, unless he called in all those cardinals and then ditched 'em. As for me, it was the unsuccessful battle to fight off work-crap then leave early for bowling night. However, first an example of Polish-license-plate-symetry; followed by a Polish Steven Wright moment.
My brother told me he saw a STO LAT 6 license plate today. And it reminded me - what do Poles sing to fellow Poles on their >99th b-days?
