Thanks Hopper, for going out and screwing around with an intern while you are married.

Idiot.

[jwalsh07]

Thanks Missy, now I need a beer and a spoonful of chocolate frosting. :-}

[rawhide]

Did someone mention ‘chocolate’?

[MediaMole]

That would be too funny, but I don’t think I could stand another couple weeks in a windowless room at the courthouse watching people stare at ballots.

[hattend]

Off to bed

I’ll check back in in 5 hours.

I’d stay up but I was on days yesterday and have 6 mids in a row. I need a nap.

Later everybody. Go Darling!

[Mach9]

You’re absolutely right. I must have a jar in the storage locker. Good, it’ll take me away from F5 for a few minutes.

[MNlurker]

I’m risking it and having my celebratory drink!!!!!!

[Shelayne]

With popcorn! :^D

[KansasGirl]

Hopper is a goner. Oh well, he is a jerk anyway. Focus on Darling.

[glock rocks]

Chocolate! there’s a box of Almond Joys and another of Heath Bars on the safe! Oh, happy day!

[txhurl]

I like FR being ahead. That way at 4:54am, FRtime, I am forced off to the shower early so I can wake up and come back and read the news a little bit more awake.

[ealgeone]

sorry gang....pmsnbc calling a win for king over harper....we’ve got one to hang on to.

[MissyMa]

That would be an interesting combo!

[rlbedfor]

If it goes badly, we can call it our cry in our drink drink.

[Ingtar]

Well, the unions put $30 million into this night from out of state. I suspect that’s what they’ll do with Walker if they think it will help.

[dfwgator]

Hopper is a goner. Oh well, he is a jerk anyway

Hope his wife takes him to cleaners and leaves him homeless.

[KansasGirl]
