I've learned not to take it personally, redqueen. I just get back at them by insulting THEIR favorite bands in a lounge poll.

41. No, that's the NON-HIPPIE Assstaticbog is defending.

That's his fave-rave singer, Jack Brewer, a real NON-HIPPIE who worships Jim Morrsion and wears bellbottoms while reciting poetry; y'know, stuff hippies NEVER do.

32. Tigereye

sometimes gets into the habit of replying to the last post in the thread no matter who she's actually addressing. It's one of the things that makes her special. We shower her with hugs and say "good try!" Then we duct tape the oven mitts back on her wrists.

sometimes it's the dadblamed computer.

It's all that education, it's contributed to my enfeeblement.

BTW MR A... there's something in my basement that needs to be decanted.

37. Basement? Decanted?

It's not a large cache of Straub, is it?

Otherwise, I recommend having your sump pump serviced.
