[hobbes1]

What's wrong wity a little lesbian fantasy?

[hobbes1]

Then you should be greatful for the excerpt I posted this A.M.

[Argh]

Nothing, but I prefer big lesbians myself, if you get my drift.

[hobbes1]

You know, the odd thing is how right it sounds to say
"Toby Keith was on Sean Hannity Friday..."

[Argh]

He's very broadminded, lucky you.

[Argh]

You're killing me here!

[RikaStrom]

OMG! ROFLOL

[xsmommy]

he knows darn well that if toby shows at my door, i am leaving with him, and he also knew that i had hopes of snaring Sean at CPAC.

[Argh]

Hmm, what if Sean and Toby both show up at the same time??

[xsmommy]

broadminded, xshub? ummmm....no.... i would say...realistic is more like it!

[xsmommy]

in this case, 3 would not be a crowd.

[hobbes1]

From Fridays show....


Sean: How do you feel about the Anthrax mailings....
Toby:It really irks me, you know, the run on Cipro made me switch back to Penicillin.....
Sean: I know what you mean
Toby: Hey...I've got a delish chardonnay, back on the bus cowboy ; )
Sean: I am soooo there ; )

[xsmommy]

oh you felt that little scenario needed a reprise?

[Argh]

Please paint us a picture, sparing no details!

[hobbes1]

in this case, 3 would not be a crowd

I think it would be, unless you were dressed as a LUmberjack named Sven...

Les Miserables will soon become "the Disenfranchised"

[Argh]

You're cracking me up!

[Argh]

You've hit the nail on the head, Tex.
