Strange, because that sounds exactly like how I feel when I read it.

Now I'm really scared. I am going to get my free I voted caffeine. When I return I expect this creepy thread to be squirreled.

Note the sticker. Since his candidate is for hope and change, despite being four, his vote was deemed legal in this state.



Darn it...that's supposed to be secret. I also voted to keep dog racing.

I sent my seven-year-old into the booth with my wife to keep her in line.

Damn Republicans. Practicing voter intimidation at a young age. Maybe we could all rent Mafoofan to go in and keep our spouses in line. If you dress him up just right...

We learned it from Mao. And Plato. You have to get them when they're young.

I also liked the color of one of the Lesser samples somewhat better, as best I could descry it on my computer monitor. The Lesser fabric ran the price tag up by $65. I hope I didn't make a mistake.
Theyre both excellent. Lesser has an old fashioned look and supreme quality which in some respects hasn't changed since the 1950s. I would imagine that the quality can sometimes be its greatest foe because the weave is so tight it sometimes doesnt lend itself for city purposes as well as other merchants. Harrisons is excellent quality, contemporary finish and softer. It's hard to get an analogy going without seeming to put down one or another cloth. Both are excellent, you might argue that Lesser puts more into its fabrics but this is like saying Harrisons cloth lasts 50 years to Lesser's 75.

Actually, I think you have that mockingboy character to thank this time. Is he one of yours?

I'm dialing his firm now...I'm sure that they could use the business.

Keeping spouses in line sounds like something useful 24/7, so I now foresee yet another expense for 2009.
