no discernable downgrade.......ROFL......

Without sounding like a kiss-up, I've always loved the Cowboys. I don't know why. In CA had the Rams and the Foreign Team, but they were so sucky. Who was the coach for the Cowboys years ago, Tom something?
In AZ now, we have the Cardinals. There is not a bird by that name in sight anywhere in this state. Maybe they should have changed their name to the Gheckos.

I like a good rivalry. I misread your post and thought you had said YOU despised the Cowboys. Between the server and my tired eyes, this is getting ridiculous.

This is a question for the experts...... ahem...... hobbes and/or Dubya.... why is there such an extreme rivalry between American's Team and those jerks in Washington?
Ok, just kidding..... do you have any idea about the background on this rivalry?
To: Hegewisch Dupa
There is no discernible downgrade as far as I can tell, and he has less time to wait to be a widower with the 'new' wife. But now he has an ex who is his mother in law, and a wife who is his ex mother in law. If that's not like being in Dante's seventh ring of hell, I don't know what is.

I know everyone on the East Coast is a tad bit busy this morning. Not really that busy - in fact hubby and I will be having our normal Friday date this afternoon. His RDO got switched to today because he is (supposedly scheduled to work Friday evening, doing an install at the beach. BWAAHAAHAA - I'll believe it when I see it.
