Blah, blah, blah. Maybe you shouldn't have? blah blah.
Move it. Work. SLOW DOWN SWEETY! I get a massage from a small handed, cold blooded babe and Mrs. NFB touches another man's lizard.

I forgot that I had to work at the bar on Saturday; it was an SMS from BG on Friday that reminded me, asking me to see if her ski boots were still here.
Update: poll. Vote please.

At this very moment, I'm eating (quite by accident) an approximation of an Acadian dish. I forget the name of the dish, but mine has potatoes, butter, turkey, gravy, spices and is composed of leftovers. The real dish is far greasier.
