Hey, I don't want to go shopping that much. I like playing with guys more. Do you want to arm wrestle? You may beat me, but we'll have a heck of a good time. LOL!

What's wrong with Arghie's and your posts? I mean things are getting crossed out. Pretty soon we'll have the white death writing thing.
