2 - 5 might also be a range; could be four kids, ranging 2 to 5. 🙂 ---

To get respect, you have to give respect. So far, you haven’t. ---

Sigh- if you walk around with a “kick me” sign, don’t act amazed when you get kicked in the ass. Of course, based on your consistent manner of posting you are in it solely for the attention. How you made it this far is amazing, but now that the mods have noticed your lame little act I am sure the curtain is about to fall. :rolleyes: ---

Perhaps he will be back. Maybe he’ll make a time machine out of a sit-n-spin attached to a lawn mower engine with rockets. The spinning reverses time, he comes back, gets the girl, and never gets banned. . . but will he destroy the Ice Palace in the process? Let’s just hope he never sees any old Frankenstein movies. OK, not really nice since he can no longer defend himself. I’ll stop, but I’m getting an idea for a thread along the lines of “If the wacky laws of physics in bad movies were true then \_\_\_\_\_\_\_”. I’m picturing Richard Pryor with a flux capaciter on the moon. It’s snowing. . . . DaLovin’ Dj ---
