Well, thank you (I think) but if I have a felicitous conviction, I'll never be able to own a gun or vote again. (Except in Illinois and certain districts in Minnesota.)
 
ROTFLMAO!!!

This is a roit!


And you are welcome in MN any day!

Oh and
Merry Christmas

So, you've never been convicted? LOL!My Baby Boy thanks you for the laugh this morning. I shared the item posted some time back that was essentially the diary of a man who went from loving to hating the snow.
 
KG certainly has convictions.;)

Hmmm, I may be giving you a run for your money...that is if you have money, and if I were into running- which of course I am not. So once again...nevermind. ;)

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm off to buy butter and eggs for Spritz Cookies. I was trying to get through an entire Holiday without baking and almost succeeded, until my Uncle called and said they wanted me to bring the cookies for our family get together! :D:cry:

I only run if something big and scary is chasing me in an attempt to do me bodily harm. :pAnd, while KG might win the strange contest, there are several of us who could come in a really close second.

One of my friends sent me that diary of a show shoveler today - it's very appropriate this year but I can't post that version. Too many references to bodily functions including waste products and reproduction.

Stop dreaming of the (*&%$#! White Christmas already!

To quote Big Julie in Guys and Dolls when Lieutenant Brannigan says "32 arrests" and Big Julie says, "But no convictions!"
 
YEEE HAAA KG! You certainly made my day!
Well you have a delightful reminiscence of days past when it was OK to celebrate any holiday of religious back rounds. Merry Merry!

Oreos are two and a half bucks a package at Wal-Mart.

They even have them with candy cane filling this year.
 
My aunt said that she's letting the elves bake this year - the Keebler elves. :) Even better than the candy cane Oreos are the Trader Joe's peppermint Jo-Jo's. They've got more filling and are all natural (I know, so is arsenic). They're soooo much better than the Oreo brand cookies.
