Is that Dixie on another thread already this morning?

[dixie sass]

Morning everyone!!!

Gov. Mike Huckabee adroitly trimmed 50 lbs from his physique since June on Adkins. Good for him!

[Slip18]

Good morning, Dixie. You're late for class. Did Flurry offer you a cig behind the gym this morning? Be careful of Flurry's cigs, he puts something in the tip, and the dang thing will blow up on you.

Next they will surrender to themselves

NOBODY surrenders to the french (not even the french)!

Dixi was in yesterday's WFTD looking for us.

[dixie sass]

Yeah, Slippy, are you coming? Huh, huh? It's fun, but you get to network a lot. We were so good (giggle) both years that I have been!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I only do that to trolls. Dixie aint no troll.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Bumbling in Kosovo

[dixie sass]

It's me, it's me! I actually made it in on time (almost).

[Conspiracy Guy]

Time traveler!

[Slip18]

Ummm, I was late yesterday. Nothing like the pot calling the kettle black, eh?

[Slip18]

Good for the Governor. My mom always told me walking every single day will keep weight down. I hate to say it, but she is right. Oh, that hurt.

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin', Teach! Mornin', everybody !

[Slip18]

I'm coming, dagnabbit!

[dixie sass]

He didn't this morning. I'll watch it though when he offers me one. He was very gallant and offered to show me to class this morning, I accepted with adroitness (snicker).

I'm not all that late today, just a widdle bit!

Fox and Friends is showing how adroitly the Federal Judges orders are being carried out in Alabama. The Ten Commandments is not being moved fromt the Courthouse, just moved to another room.

I feel like we are losing something...

[Conspiracy Guy]

Are you being a racist again? I feel firmly that Protag is either an adolescent male with no experience or a stupid old man. Didn't understand anything except personal attacks which were poorly conducted. Did the little twit think it could get me mad with such a stupid approach? He attacked LE for things that you or hobbes said and you for me etc. "Lost in Space" is my term for Protag.
