I’m still attempting closure,but the trailer trash intellectuals,whom I’ve rebeled against,are prolonging the inevitable. The only other solution I can offer is for the nazi,UncleBeer,to send me to the SD gas ovens and get it over with.

'Tell you what, dude. Call someone a Nazi once more, and we’ll solve the problem for you.

Your remarks are way, WAY out of line. Let’s see what our administrators think. You may be a lost case already.

Coldfire is right on the money, as usual. Wahoo, if you have trouble leaving, I can HELP you leave permanently. And I might, whether you ask me to or not.

That would be Euty, Smeggy…he did write a thread about it. 😉

I would just like to repeat, as a random neural firing . . .

**It’s Duke all the way.**

Oh, Jodi. Beauty, brains, income . . . _and_ you’re a Duke fan?

I love you. Marry me. Now. We can fly to Durham tonight for a honeymoon, and celebrate our love by the light of the burning benches . . .

ANDROS, you know craven adoration makes my knees weak, but alas, I cannot lead you on. I have Duke in the office pool. I don’t care enough about basketball to be called a fan of any team, and I normally would root for Arizona just 'cause they’re out West and my mom lives there, but . . . I have Duke in the office pool. 🙂

I hope the fact that my allegiance can be bought by the mere prospect of winning $27.50 and some free donuts doesn’t lessen your regard. 😃

Sigh. Ah well. No one’s perfect, I guess. But . . .

Actually, that’s even more arousing. Krispy Kreme ok with you?
