well, the lightning is starting to die down, so i should probably go and try to retrieve my trash can from wherever it has floated to.

Okay . . . about all these college graduates running off to the high-paying jobs in Texas, etc. . . . what happened to all the Texas college graduates? And what does this say about Texas companies hiring Louisiana graduates? Louisiana has better graduates? Better education system??
Good idea. You wouldn't want a leech to bite your jimmy. Your neighbors must have been impressed by your ingenuity.Quote:

What I've heard is that it is a fertility drug. Manny claims the drug was prescription. This leads me to only one conclusion. Manny is preparing for a sex change operation. Think about it. That's why he's not appealing the suspension. It will give him time to have the operation and be back to baseball.Quote:
