Actually, girlie, I have been using the exclamation inlieu of a number, since time out of mind.

[RikaStrom]

Oh you must be joking.

A

You misspelled pixilation. ;-)

[camle]

all supportive. not one piece of hate mail. i expected some for this last one tho...

[xsmommy]

i saw that, but i think it looks better with two Ls....

[Gabz]

Excuse me teach - but since when does post #6 count as being before post #4????

If you double check you will see that I got in the door before camle, and right after XS.

My pixilation of last evening has made the chance that I'll get a good grade today about as likely as OOday and QOOsay showing up in assclay.

It has nothing to do with the WFTD, but look who calls himself an American!

[xsmommy]

well that is good. now, if you posted it on FR, you would likely have people being nasty! just judging by some of the posts from people on some threads!

[xsmommy]

too bad he didn't invite the blubbering Blabber to witness it, they could have sobbed into each others arms....

[secret garden]

That explains your screen name? Hobbes!?

[Gabz]

GAG ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[camle]

hey G, are you pms-ing this morning? yeesh!

I didn't pick up on your post because the message was identical to Rikas, sorry.

I was trying to be nice to the kitty cos he was bummed that Secret got in before he did. I was letting him have my spot.

grouch;-)

[camle]

this is true, not that I would object if some freeper put it up - so I could see the reactions, and maybe get some feedback...

[xsmommy]

well i AM pms'ing and i am sweetness and light personified, aren't i, camle? ; )

[RikaStrom]

Good for them, I saw the earlier thread on that.

A+

"Next we will be banning candles, incense and fires in your fireplace," Mr. Dore said. "This is insane."

Exactly, so why can't people see this??!

[camle]

compared to your coquette counterpart, you ARE all sweetness. what's wrong?

[Gabz]

I'm no grouch.

But I have been a bit scarce of late and figured nobody bothered to notice me because everyone had forgotten me.

You proved me right - so there!!!!!!!

One can only hope that Morris is seeking to pixilate the crowd when he spouts this stuff.
