Buffy Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I remember when a guy who said another guy was adorable, got the business from the other fellas. ;)Gee, I dunno Wally. I think that Eddie would give just about anyone the business. Aprons with frills, long enough to cover your knee length dress. Oh, good afternoon, Mrs. Cleaver. I was just telling Wallace how pleasant it would be for Theodore to accompany us to the movies, :hihi:Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfiniteNow Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 do you ever remember justice having such a sense of humour? Maybe when the seven dwarfs perjured themselves?

Buffy Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 do you ever remember justice having such a sense of humour?Well, today Scooter Libby thought it was a good idea to go in front of the judge about to sentance him and express not one ounce of remorse because he doesn't think there's anything wrong with perjury or obstruction of justice.... Do you remember when people actually had respect for the rule of law? The machine guns are roaring, the puppets heave rocks, the fiends nail time bombs to the hands of the clocks, :confused:Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
