The questions that confront us in this day and age.

An acient question of profound importance that haunts mankind to this day.

In my case one more beer then sleep.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

And libertarians cant be suspended anymore.

[humblegunner]

Was it buffalo?

It was not. That pleasure shall have to wait.

[NeoCaveman]

And libertarians cant be suspended anymore.

I have my share of libertarian leanings but most of the libertarians around here are just too Fundamentalist in their libertarianism for me.

"(also covering my @$$ from anyone I forgot to list on the ping......... )"

UH, HUH!!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

LOL. Well, I suppose some people in a certain clique are immune from it. Maybe it isnt just Libbys.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oops..........how could I forget my favorite Texan in the whole world? lol

Uh, didn't you get the roses, I mean the coffee, uh, I mean the chocolate - yea, that's it, the chocolate I sent you?

[COB1]

Hey, OPH, good to see you!
I was going to stay around and chat for awhile, but you guys need to call the pest control.
You've been invaded by tpaine-us moronus.
That's much worse than cockroaches!

[Gabz]

You're such a goof!!!

[Gabz]

I do great chicken - but I have never been able to do even mediocre Fried chicken.

Don't know what my problem is - but I've never been able to get it to work and TOTALLY envy anyone who does is well.

[COB1]

..."yea, that's it, the chocolate I sent you?"

Yes, I did, and you know that chocolate breaks me out in hives!
Now I'm itching ALL over!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You live in Houston - it's the Mayor you are allergic to...... not my chocolate! I just get blamed for everything............lol

[Gabz]

In my case one more beer then sleep.

Yeah, I openned another one!!!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Ugh! Clinton is on letterman..... I had to go change the channel.............

[SCalGal]

I think partly it's just luck. I can cook anything, and it's always very good.....

Except Garlic Bread. I can't cook garlic bread for anything. Might as well skip the beginning steps and move straight to calling the fire department.

[COB1]

"it's the Mayor you are allergic to..."

DEFINITELY!!

He's the cause of my hair falling out, my eyes going bad, my belly getting bigger and the flat tire on my truck.
It will be a beautiful day when he gathers up his stuff and leaves the mayor's office for the last time!

[humblegunner]

You're such a goof!!!

I'll take that as high praise, thanks!!!
