Oh stop getting excited.

Sit back...pop a beer, turn off the PC, and enjoy the game.

I mean the footie!!! *L*

[Argh]

I'm on my third beer, I'm enjoying the game, I never turn off the PC, and I was being complimentary to you. Last time I try THAT dumb move!

:^)

[Happygal]

Do I sense hositility?

*L*..Nope, couldn't. Yer a Canuck, it's not in yer breed! ;-)

[Argh]

it's not in yer breed

You could be right. Thirty years ago an Irish girl gave me a shillelagh (as a gift, not the way you'd like to give one to me, snicker!).

I've since lost it.

Oh, well, as they supposedly say in the gay bars, bottoms up, Irish!

:^)

[Happygal]

*LOL*...YOu are a funny one when yer not off in a mid-game-snit! *LOL*

BTW, may all yer shillelagh's be moss free in future. *LOL*

(~thinkin' to meself~ IMAGINE losing the shillelagh~ Jaysis, that's like Frodo losing the gold ring bejaysis *L*)

[Argh]

may all yer shillelagh's be moss free in future

Thank you for the lovely wish!

[Happygal]

Thank you for the lovely wish!

*LOL* Ye sarcastic git! *L* Love it though! :-)

[Argh]

HEY! I honestly wasn't being sarcastic.

I think you spend too much time hanging out with cynical guys like that slob Argh over at Free Republic. :^)

Hey!! You could be right. Should I see a therapist? *L*

[Argh]

HAahaha, couldn't hurt!

I also like eminem. If you can endure some of the truly pointless and gratiutiously filthy raps by some of the other "artists" on the movie soundtrack, you realize the three numbers with him are actually very good musically -- yes, musically...with some melody, and pure emotion and sincerity. The biggest kiss of death for him may be Babs Streisand saying she liked the movie and liked him and his music (but didn't understand all the words, but then apparently she never does..). But I agree (in this instance) with her: the emotion and feeling in what he does seems genuine and there is musical value. Several other "artists" on this soundtrack seem intent on setting records for the most number of obscenities prounced within a given timeframe.. But Eminem "rocks"...and this comes from someone over 40.
