aside from the heavy jaw, why not?

[xsmommy]

THanks, P.O.E.! i gotta tell you though, tradition aside, CrunchnMunch=VASTLY superior to cracker jack.

[Conspiracy Guy]

where you been on earth? I wondered about you were not at here.

[xsmommy]

i know, me too! i worry about these things. i had the bad feeling when CJ wasn't around last winter and he got literally HIT BY A TRUCK. robert NEVER tells me when he is away and i had a bad dream that something happened to him, the night before last, and i went to his house and met his wife and daughter! i am serious, robt!

This from the same road that prefers dunkin donuts to Krispy Kreme . ; )

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Heavy jaw? Big arms? Where do you come up with this stuff??? You're evaluating these babes as if you were Mick...

[camle]

Biog raid in Tikrit. 5 to 10 Saddam bodyguards nabbed. looks like the noose is toghtening...

[xsmommy]

obviously i have discriminating TASTE! kk are greasy. CrackerJack taste like carmel coated cardboard, peanuts and a (cheezy) prize.

[xsmommy]

GOOD!

[CholeraJoe]

whatsamatta? no suggestions that i iron my bday suit? i am hurt ; )

Oh alright, if you insist.

And for the choppers

[hobbes1]

Yes...discriminating against the good... ; )

[xsmommy]

: )

after this week's dentist visit, i gave serious thought to just having them all removed and falsies installed.

[xsmommy]

there is something very wrong with people who prefer KK to DD donuts. period.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I hate to say it, but that sounds like the KOBE threads.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Night before last?

Hmmmmmmmmmn.

That would be while wqe were dodging thunderstorms (and that windstorm over Memphis whilst coming back from San Antonio. (Our short four hour flight home turned into a twelve hour nightmare of weather delays, broken hydraulic pumps, missed flights, runs across terminals, skipped baggage, mis-delivered baggage, still-missing luggage, missed car seats, borrowed seats, runway delays, maintenance delays, and no place to change diapers! No magazines, no food, and arguments with security people.)

All the above accompanied by a 4 adults, an 18-month old (who didn't like anything above 5000 feet air pressure) and a 3 year old who was wonderful but who wanted to play.

[hobbes1]

Actually Shop Rite makes better donuts than Both, Except...For the KK Glazed Jelly donut, which is the King of all Donuts....(Especially with a good coffee)

[xsmommy]

but the diff is, the EVIDENCE IS ALL IN, DD is BETTER. it has been fully litigated. you can believe whatever you want in your own mind, but KK stink and DD are the best, false accusations to the contrary notwithstanding.

[xsmommy]

glad you are ok, didn't realize the san antone trip was going to extend into this week. i am very happy nothing bad happened to you!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

you are totally discounting the coolness/mezmorizing factor of watching the donut production line operate at KK....

[xsmommy]

yes i am, bc the grease those things are fried in tastes like CRAP. if xsbrownie turns her nose up at a donut, it is putrid. only xsboy will eat them, and we only ever had them bc his hockey team was selling them as a fundraiser, i NEVER buy them. i literally spit it OUT, when i tasted it!
