Have you ever read Frances the Badger kids books? she makes up rhymes like those, cybe...

(Go Spurs Go! Two down, two to go!)

Lakers lost again. Cool. Now they go out to LA LA Land right?

You didn't know Condi was a champion figure skater?
You know about the classical piano, right?
She is very competitive and successful at everything she attempts.

[NeoCaveman]

And she is a Cleveland Brown's fan.... I wish she had helped pick the draft, but she obviously had more important things to do.

Is it NFL season yet?

[secret garden]

Exactly right. What were our stats for the other wars?

[Robert A Cook PE]

Thank you, thank you.

Regretabbly, the Ronnie was concerned about her grading (of her student exams) but the dinner was excellent.

No elegant long evening of dining and nor dancing though.......

Saving it for a 4-day cruise in June from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas.

......

Judging by Jean's addendum to my answer last night, she's not a happy camper. Relatively speaking, that is.

Miss Sea, you're a vetern of the Carib since you dive there: We have passports; do we need "visas" as well to get into the Bahamas or Cococay (sp ?) nearby?

If your a Friend of the Feathered, or A Mutts fan, football season usually begins with the draft.

[TheGrimReaper]

If the Bahamas are still a British protectorate, your US passport will suffice.

[NeoCaveman]

The draft just reminded me how much I miss football season.

Most commonly heard phrase overheard in Cleveland on draft weekend "Who the f#@% is that they drafted...."

Yes, unfortunately, we have to battle them late at night, at the Staples Center. We have beaten them six times in a row. That should help Phil Jackson swallow that shut-up juice after his comment that his little team might sweep us this time.
Their game was fantastic last night. I wonder what was on the sign that the crazy guy held out for O'Neal. He walked right onto the court before the free(brick) throw. Bizarre.

Gang Green has been known to generate that response, frequently

[hobbes1]

Phil Jackson...How many rings does he have now anyway ?

10?

[NeoCaveman]

Gang Green has been known to generate that response, frequently

That what Jim Rome was saying on that commercial they overran all weekend. I bet after the 10th time you Jets fans wanted to punch him in the grill.

[hobbes1]

No. It wasn't inaccurate.

What do you expect when it inspires Ian Hunter to pen these romantic lyrics?

All this energy calling me
Back where it comes from
It's such a crude attitude
It's back where it belongs
All the little kids growing up on the skids are goin'
Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks
Jumpin' (Jean) Gene genies, moody James Deanies goin'

Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks
Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks

[secret garden]

Nuevo.

Robt...

Miss Slippy and I were there Oct '01 (Royal Caribbean), and we only needed Birth Certs and Drivers' licenses. Passports OK, and probably required for Canadians.

[NeoCaveman]

No. It wasn't inaccurate.

Sure it was true. But it was played every half hour....

[VRWCmember]

Go Spurs Go! Two down, two to go!

Actually, it's Two down, TEN to go:
2 more against the lakers;
4 against the winner of the kings/Mavericks series (unfortunately that is pretty certain to be the kings);
4 against whatever cupcake comes out of the east.

Miss Sea, you're a vetern of the Carib since you dive there: We have passports; do we need "visas" as well to get into the Bahamas or Cococay (sp ?) nearby?

All you need are your passports. If you are on a cruise, all you need to do is get off of the ship. They don't check your passports at that point.....
