Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Thank Goodness, It’s Finally FRIDAY!

Here is my example with WFTD.

TV or no TV, both singers vow to continue singing their 9/11 songs as often as possible. And they both understand the real reason why their songs of anger and war have been barred by ABC and PBS.

Says Charlie, "It's just this political correctness. Anybody with a brain in their head knows we're in the same position we were in on the 11th of September, and I personally think we should constantly be reminded of that."

They’re showing great avidity
Against our songs most patriotically
Jenning’s a joke
PC does invoke
See me with extended digit rigidity!

TOO AMERICAN FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY? (Toby Keith, Charlie Daniels)

It looks like the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decided to start a Pledge drive for Republican candidates.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Every day we shove and push
To be the first on the short bus
Xsmommy, hobbes and dubs
Wetbars, closets and beer tubs
If you really think you’re strong
Maybe you can ride along
I don’t want to cause no fuss
But here it is – the new Short Bus!

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS

Bet you things don’t get too far
Before camle’s got a new cigar
Argh is running for his life
From ending up with the ex-wife
Gabz is getting far from fat
Swimming round in the beer vat
There’se no rules, and there’s no muss
Ridin’ on this here Short Bus

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS


Singing:

WotsamoddaU hey,
Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,
Why you looka so sad?
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ah, Shaddap You Face.

I do have my homework. I mean I lost it. I mean I ate it.

While out one morning in the park, a jogger found a brand new tennis ball, and seeing nobody around, he slipped it into the pocket of his shorts.

Later, on his way home, he stopped at a pedestrian crossing, waiting for the lights to change. A girl standing next to him saw the large bulge in his shorts.

"What's that?" she asked,... with her eyes gleaming lustfully.

"Tennis ball," came the breathless reply.

"Oh," said the girl sympathetically, "that must be painful.... I had tennis elbow once!"

[camle]

JE had a lot of musical avidity, shame.

[xsmommy]

"What's that?" she asked

Yep, that's what i always say.

[camle]

just before you snip snip snip away!

[RikaStrom]
