LOL, thanks for the gif ping Meek!! I like your Elvis one too. My computer is like the Thanksgiving Turkey, stuffed full!!
Here's another Elvis pic I found.
That's a great picture Meek, when he was so young and handsome! I have the little Elvis parachuting .gif, do you have that?
1 to say that Walmart has them for the lowest price
At least 300 replies and three reposts of the thread to argue about Walmart
Thanks.I have the little Elvis parachuting .gif, do you have that?

Don't forget the 101 BTTTs.
DANG! :^("thisk" s/b "think"
LOL.
I'll email it to you, OK?
55 cessationist Christians to complain that there are no current burning bushes and none should be allowed in a discussion about lightbulbs--that any semblance of BRINGING CHRIST'S light with that of changing a light bulb is blatant heresy and must be resisted with great hostility according to a long list of narrow Scripture interpretations.
Of course, there are some slim threads of truth in some of their rantings but don't tell them--it only feed their delusions.
Funny, did you get that email from Happy2Bme awhile back where the letters in the words were rearranged but you could read right through it with no trouble??
Your post was the same, I didn't even notice that!!
I'll email it to you, OK?That'll work just fine. Thanks! :^D
I'm headin' for the horizontal rack now.
G'night, my friend. :^)
Will the last post please turn out the lightbulbs.
Thanks for the ping!
Goodnight Meek, I just mailed it out!
Congrats on the resurrection..... :-P

And one to lecture Arrowhead1952 that if you had bothered to read the thread, you would have found 10 other Freepers who already made the same joke and stop wasting other Freepers valuable time.....
