[Laura Earl]

Thanks a lot...not that song won't get out of my head!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'll sing the whole thing to you later.

[Gabz]

My husband is real familiar with the area and hurricanes - he lived and worked in the area during Alicia in 83 - I've seen some of the pictures from Galveston from that one.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Is hubby a smoker? If so I hate him as much as I hate you and me.

[Laura Earl]

Chicken parmesan for dinner ok?

[Conspiracy Guy]

You call them Sleepumentaries, instead of Documentaries and it pretty much sums up how you watch them.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Of course.

[Gabz]

Yes, hubby is a smoker - he's the one in charge of the cig machine - he does it better than me.

I guess I need to hate him as much as I hate me and you - right????

[Laura Earl]

Hey now...I like sleepumentaries about violent crimes or natural disasters. It's those in black an white that go on and on about war that drive me to drink.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Yes we smokers should hate ourselves and each other. Tell him that you are sorry about it but you really can't love someone as selfish as you and I are. But then again our arrogance prevents us from being sorry so just blow smoke at him.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I thought I drove you to drink : (

[Laura Earl]

No, you drive me to the store to buy more beer when we run out. On another note...Trip has requested that the meeting with "the troops" on Wednesday afternoon exclude the 2 layers of dead weight between us and him.

[Gabz]

You are just too funny..............

I just hope some of the anti's I am battling with on another board are not monitoring this one - they are known to take what smokers say on one board and post the words on another and twist them every which way but loose.

[Gabz]

you drive me to the store to buy more beer when we run out.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the greatest line I have ever heard in response to that question!!!!!

I hope you don't mind - but I'm going to use it!!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I haven't been to a good smoke fight in weeks. I get pinged go there and nothing develops.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Laura Earl doesn't like to drive at night.

Sagacity was not apparent in the Clinton White House because his in-action lead directly to the 9-11 attacks; however, sagacity was very apparant when he let his people turn the impeachment into an investigation of Monica when it was really much much more.

[honeygrl]

"This is a funny satire article on the NASCAR protests. "

That article is hilarious. I saw the headline and thought it was serious until I read the article. I was about to fall outta my chair.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Make sure you have your hans device on.

[Robert A Cook PE]

So true, so true.

And the media parade continues today distorting the "news."
