He calmly shows up late half the time whereas his friend is taking Immodium because he's so nervous. He'd love to be able to do that race. He's done The World Masters at Lake Placid and some others.<BR/>Those guys are all amazing!Mother of Inventionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797365678860039018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-81731432394860171782007-02-26T12:20:00.000-06:002007-02-26T12:20:00.000-06:00Happy Inappropriate Card Day, Jocelyn!Happy <A HREF="http://www.mattresspolice.com/2007/02/happy-inappropriate-card-day.htm" REL="nofollow">Inappropriate Card Day</A>, Jocelyn!robkroesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731849693307953813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-55421658098795026402007-02-26T10:07:00.000-06:002007-02-26T10:07:00.000-06:00I still can't read the words 'fanny pack' without ...I still can't read the words 'fanny pack' without sniggering....<BR/><BR/>Wilde was right, we have everything in common except language.<BR/><BR/>PussGlamourpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01450175254756849062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-92061747597514371912007-02-26T04:40:00.000-06:002007-02-26T04:40:00.000-06:00This time of the year, people in this country are ...This time of the year, people in this country are obsessed with skiing.

I've been in running races with a cast of 10,000, but that's just with each participant armed with rubber running shoes and elbows. I can't fathom it with sharpened sticks in one's hands and waxy sticks on one's feet. <BR/><BR/>Bless their silly little hearts. Hope they get the snow they desire and then some. <BR/><BR/>Joe-O sounds like quite the lovely soul, but I just might have to slap him if I were to spend too much time in his angelic company. We bitter, cynical, sarcastic folk prefer the angst-ridden for our chronic companions.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273493776473085128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-65411075826295928682007-02-23T14:41:00.000-06:002007-02-23T14:41:00.000-06:00This is an actual thing?People are weird. ;)Steve~...This is an actual thing?<BR/><BR/>People are weird. ;)<BR/><BR/>Steve~Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211562240483067865noreply@blogger.com
