It’s raining,
It’s pouring,
My love life is boring me to tears…

I’m an expert on shrimp. There’s a lot of ways you can serve shrimp. There’s fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, shrimp gumbo, shrimp salad, shrimp and corn, shrimp etoufee’, shrimp cocktail. . .

I can fly from Abbotsford, BC to Edmonton, AB, for $69.00 on Fridays. But I don’t have $69.00. I have 69 cents, though. I can’t even buy a pop with that.

That gave me a warm fuzzy feeling since I created this thread. I feel loved and accepted.

Hey! Just because I happen to live in the place where “BC bud” is known and appreciated for its, er, good qualities does **not** mean that I smoke pot, all right?
Nah, how about a little Scrabble or Balderdash?
