CFM pumps - always appropriate; with the possible exception of a tumble session in one of these...

[xsmommy]

you would have liked the hottie, HD!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

No doubt - at least until she opened her mouth. You, on the other hand, I am sure were the complete spectacular package.

Hillary will never elucidate her plan to become president but when she divorces Bill in November, 2003 you will know the campaign has started.

[hobbes1]

Maybe...but...the broad on the right....

"Chip"? That's as bad as "Biff". I wear thongs because I work with a bunch of guys and I don't want them looking at panty lines under my jeans, but I think it is proper to confine capri's (and denim shorts) to backyard barbecues with friends. And the CFM pumps should either be worn with an evening gown to a formal function or in the boudoir with seamed stockings and a lace teddy...

[hobbes1]

xs likes to wear the CFMs with a bathing suit.

[theDentist]

Yup... Dunkin donuts... 3 dozen.... I'll just eat some peaches.... trying to get the BP down....

[TheGrimReaper]

So, then... you don't have photos?
BTW, what are "CFM" pumps? Certifiable f'ing maniac?

[xsmommy]

awww, yer sweet, HD. Xshub was well known for his lib beliefs in HS, was very politically aware and informed. so a lot of the conversation centered on his conversion. xshub said it probably was not very polite of me to have said that i used to be a lib til i...grew up....One of his little acolytes, is STILL a lib. she lives in MA and is a big John Kerry fan. i said i loved Kerry's WIFE! her comment was that she is very OUTSPOKEN, i said, yeah i know, i think she will do wonders for his campaign. i said besides, i am from PA and i liked her first husband better..i was an all around charmer, i guess you could say... :)

[Hegewisch Dupa]

they work well with her car-washing-Daisy Dukes, too

[hobbes1]

Come F*** me.

[hobbes1]

LMAO~!

[TheGrimReaper]

Did you ever notice that xs' left hand cannot be seen in that photo?
Could it be in DanFromMichigan's pocket?? 8-o

[xsmommy]

i think that request was best FREEPMAILED to grimmy, tiger.... ; )

[TheGrimReaper]

Thank you... making a note of that.

[hobbes1]

I think she pinched his @$$ just as the shot was being taken..; )

[xsmommy]

the MA acolyte was at least nice, the one i spritzed with red wine has her Masters in Social Work and she was irking me. she expressed surprise when she learned that xshub had become conservative and said, oh well you aren't one of those republicans that dissed liberals are you. and i said....oh i think we probably are....

[Hegewisch Dupa]

no reason for the Tiger to keep his knowledge of fine fashionwear a secret...
