Sparky's gathering was lovely, and I'm sorry I had to leave early. My dinner was tasty, although somewhat constrained by my friend's daughter who was 5.5 years old and kinda grumpy. Sports bar wasn't the best choice, but I didn't know she was coming, so...

Perkins I think we're SOL.

You were a topic of conversation at Sparky's.

That's so sweet.

Having heard Kravback Mountain jokes today, I do agree.

If it gets that fellow krav-er of yours from the Lost party to start macking on guys, it'll be worth any amount of groan-worthy puns.

ita, go with the belty goodness! Whoo and hoo!

I want filtering software to eliminate the obnoxious screaming of useless females.
