Hey Gunny you are a breath of fresh air tonight!

[Don]

I'm just a bit bored tonight. Got my ticket for Neal's show next month. Was excited about that for a few hours. Now I'm back to earth (A Neal show with no Open Arms, yeah!). Probably take a walk if the rain holds off then watch some Agatha Christie mysteries on DVD.

That was my fault. I fixed it. Dylan made 9 million being toast. Now if he is toast, and made 9 mill, what does that say for the J -Boyz?

You all think MG is getting air pumped right about now? I mean, shit, she isn't on here..she must be getting some. I bet she looks into the eyes of her lover as he is doing sex pushups on top of her, and says to him, "I am laughing my ass off!"
