Lol and @ bobcat, that was just sooo wrong! Ewwww
And for that special someone with you on this special day, be sure to check out their special valentine chocolate assortments.
@bobcat(iah)- was the platter made of poohter?lol
No, I think they cut the poohters out first. You know, just like they do with chickens.
My posts are being blocked again. Here! Have a hat, you mad hatters! *tosses hat*
I detect a different filtering process. CNN is indeed sinking to new lows, egad!
Here Basil, try using my hat. It might work.
@ chrissy
Yeah, it's my favorite so far too. Being able to throw all kinds of "crap" out here. This is "almost" as much fun as fracking.
So @ Basil, you gave them a *mad hat* you say? How awesome was that? And i agree @ bobcat, with all the *crap* we see here daily its refreshing
to see some real crap! Ok well maybe refreshing would be incorrect but you know what i mean. Lol
Maybe CNN needs an enema?
Lol ok this has been the most fun ive had on here in quite some time. Crap is crap and its really hard for anyone to argue with it!
I like to talk crap.
To paraphrase Hitchens, if you gave CNN an enema you could bury it in a matchbox!
...and you could then carry it around with you and no one would know you had CNN in your pocket!
It's brilliant!
Lol you are one funny guy @ Basil. But even if it meant having cnn in my pocket there would be no way i would carry that!
Crap is my favorite FUN word
Lol mine too @ Mary. And one of the first words my grandkids learned to say well lol!
Tell them to hold their tongue and say, Big Red Fire Truck.
Lol @ chrissy, Your my kinda grandma, for sure!
I'm past my bedtime... Night all
@ bobcat (in a hat)©, I think you and chrissy would make an entertaining pair as grandparents
Good night Mary.
Maybe is I say merde it will get past the censors. Hello and good night all.
Good night @ Mary and thank you! I like to think im a good grandma too. Im pretty sure my babies love me as their grandma too.
