Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

I was shocked when I saw it on TV and shocked even more at the repeat when I noticed there was really tongue involved. Madonna kissed Aguilera too but they cut away so all you saw was her pulling back afterward. I have a feeling the camera men were a bit distracted and having a hard time figuring out where to point that camera.

Big Old Ho and Hoette. That probably sold a million CD's. Now every unsupervised day care raised 12 year old girl in America will be giving her girl friends a big ol sloppy open mouth kisses. The pervs will roar.

Someone needs to *itchslap Chrissy this morning. He just went on a rant, criticizing Bush, accused him of loafing while on vacation, then kissed up to hillary and Dean. He has ticked me off.

The good shows, in b&w! We used to have a Bible study based on Andy's show.
